On Monday, July 2, Mayor Jim Gray presented a proclamation declaring July 1-7 as “Independents Week” in Lexington, KY.
Lexington’s Independents Week celebrates independent local businesses and Local First Lexington, a nonprofit organization that champions Central Kentucky’s unique companies, charities, and consumers.
Lexington’s Independents Week will also include a social media giveaway campaign. Participating residents are eligible for five daily drawings to win gift certificates to Local First Lexington member businesses. During Independents Week, July 1-7, consumers can enter by taking a selfie at any independently owned local business and post it to Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #IndependentsLex. You may get more exposure if you also tag @LocalFirstLexington and the local business.
In five daily random drawings, you could win up to $100 toward purchases at your favorite Local First Lexington businesses. Each drawing pool includes all eligible social media posts from that day and all previous days of Independents Week.
July 1 through 7, support local businesses around Lexington, KY.
