Albion is celebrating the holidays in a festive new way with the North Pole Exploration – Elf Search, a community project organized by Cassidy Porter, Community & Brand Ambassador for the Albion Community Foundation. In partnership with the Greater Albion Area Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau, the City of Albion, Caster Cares, and the Downtown Development Authority, this activity brings holiday fun to local businesses all season long.
Now through December 31, community members can pick up a North Pole Passport and visit participating businesses to search for hidden elves. Each elf found earns a passport stamp. After collecting 10 stamps, participants can turn in their passport for a chance to win one of five $50 Albion gift cards.
Shoppers can also earn bonus chances to win, each purchase at a participating business earns a special “Shopped There” stamp, and collecting five of those earns a second entry into the drawing.
Passports can be returned to the Foundry Bakehouse & Deli, the Greater Albion Chamber, or Pure Albion. Participating locations include favorites like the Bohm Theatre, Stirling Books & Brew, Kids ’N’ Stuff Children’s Museum, Superior Street Mercantile, and many more.
Cassidy’s goal with the Elf Search is simple: bring people downtown, spread holiday cheer, and encourage the community to support Albion’s local businesses.
Grab your passport, explore Albion, and enjoy the search—holiday magic awaits!
