The deadline to submit completed passports is noon on Friday, July 28. They may be dropped off in person, mailed to the chamber office, or scanned and emailed to mjones@galion-crestlinechamber.org. Prize drawings will be conducted on July 28 and winners will be notified by GCACC staff.

“Our business community is currently struggling with some of the lowest sales days they’ve ever recorded,” points out GCACC Executive Director Miranda Jones. “We love our business community, and this promotion is to show them our unwavering support – so they are still open by Christmas.”
