Magical Christmas Dollars & Minnewaska Dollars
Any area business are invited to participate in “Magical Dollars;” it’s a great way to promote “Keep it Local.” We offer $1.00, $5.00 and $10.00 to be used in your place of business. They are redeemable after January 1st and you decide your own expiration date and how you want to use them. They will be printed and provided throughout the Christmas season free of charge. The “Magical Dollars” you request can only be redeemed at your business. Businesses who would like “Magical Dollars” should request them as soon as possible. Contact the Chamber and Welcome Center office at 634-3636 to order your “Magical Dollars” or for more information.
Minnewaska Dollars is another way the Glenwood Lakes Area Chamber and Welcome Center promotes “Keep it Local.” Community members are able to use them anywhere in town and Minnewaska Dollars offers $5.00, $10.00, and $20.00 amounts. They would make great gifts for the holiday season.
