The Avon/Canton Chamber of Commerce is excited to launch this Summer’s edition of WHERE IN THE VALLEY? — a fun and interactive community event that encourages residents and visitors alike to explore local businesses

Running from July 1-31 — This year’s event is especially meaningful as it also joins the nationwide America 250 celebration, commemorating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Where in the Valley? offers a unique opportunity for people to support local businesses and celebrate the spirit of community and America

The location of all participating member businesses will be posted to both the Chamber Website and Facebook Page. Starting July 1, people are encouraged to visit as many of the participating businesses as they can throughout July and scan their unique QR codes.
The more businesses you visit, the more chances you have to win one of (3) Three great Collections of Gift Cards to a variety of local member businesses — With the top prize being $250 worth in Gift Cards!

PLUS — All three winners of the Gift Card Collections will also receive a One-Of-A-Kind, Patriotic-Themed, Limited Edition, Hand-Blown Glass Orb created exclusively for this event by local glass blower Peter Greenwood of Riverton.
