GALION — The Galion-Crestline Area Chamber of Commerce (GCACC) has announced a new promotion, “Christmas in July,” which runs from Thursday, July 13 through 27.

Participants who complete their “passport” entry forms are eligible for a drawing to win gift cards and a grand prize that includes a full set of Christmas dishware furnished by The Evergreen Company.
Passports are available at the GCACC office at 138 Harding Way West, Galion, or they can be printed from the GCACC website: www.galion-crestlinechamber.org. To participate, simply present your passport at your time of purchase and the retailer will stamp it to reflect the amount spent.
