    Description


    Shop Local: Kick off the season with a bag full of local love.

    Be one of the first 100 shoppers in downtown Cedar Falls and Waterloo and grab a FREE reusable shopping bag packed with local cheer! But hurry, because once they're gone, they're gone!
     
    Saturday, November 29 | 10 AM to 12 PM
    Saturday, December 6 | 10 AM to 12 PM
    Cedar Falls | Main Street & E 4th Street
    Waterloo | E 4th Street & Sycamore St

    You could score a bag with one (or more!) of these prizes:
    • Gift cards from locally owned businesses
    • Coupons and exclusive offers
    • $10 bounce‑back cards
     
    PLUS, two lucky shoppers will win a $100 gift card for Main Street Waterloo or Cedar Falls Community Main Street, thanks to support from Talk to Me Technologies and US Bank Wealth Management!

     

    Here’s the twist: The offers and prizes vary by location, and some of the most exciting surprises are spread across both communities. So grab a bag in one downtown, then take your time exploring the other. It’s the perfect reason to make a day of it and support even more local businesses. 

    Additional bags will be placed in participating small businesses throughout the season. Some bags will include coupons. Others may hold surprise gift cards. Keep shopping and keep your eyes peeled!

    A special thank you to our bag sponsors: Brummel Madsen Insurance, Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center, GreenState Credit Union, NuCara Pharmacy and Infusion Center & Tyson Foods.
