In The News
Who’s ready for some winter fun? Is anyone else ready to get out of the house? I know I am. Cabin fever tends to set in January and February each year in Iowa for many of us. How about a safe, fun activity for your family and the entire community to enjoy?
Nola is a witty mannequin who loves to see the sights and wants to share her adventure with us. She is always on the move, elusive, tends to get lost, and often needs rescued.
Your mission is Finding Nola. The question is, how? It’s pretty simple!
- Watch for clues posted every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday starting February 5th on the Indianola Chamber of Commerce Face Book Page (@IndianolaChamberofCommerce) and/or Instagram (indianolachamber). Follow the clues to find Nola. You have until the following Wednesday night to find her. After that, Nola will begin exploring again to find her next destination.
- If you find Nola, take a picture with her, share it to your Face Book page and/or Instagram and tag the Indianola Chamber of Commerce and business or location where you find her.
- Posts must also include the hashtags #ThinkIndianolaFirst #FindingNola
- The picture with the most likes and shares by 11:59 p.m. the following Thursday night of each week will win a $25 Hy-Vee gift card. Only one picture can be entered per person each week. Winners will be announced on the Chamber Facebook page on Friday.
- Every photo posted receives one entry into a Grand Prize drawing for a gift basket valued at $500 filled with local business gift cards and other local goodies. Play each week, post your photo, and get your name in the drawing for every week that you participate. We’re excited to see your creativity in your pictures.
Your rescue missions will start Friday, February 5th and run through March 19, 2021. Nola will be checking out local businesses and attractions. The 6-week game will allow participants to track Nola down, spread some social media buzz, and win some great prizes.
Our local economy depends on our small businesses, and we hope that you find this new activity provides you and your family a little fun, perhaps a little competition, and most importantly a lot of exploration as you discover some of our community’s local treasures.
I encourage everyone to grab your family, order some take out from a local restaurant, maybe a yummy treat or some coffee or hot chocolate, and just explore. Finding Nola will be fun, but your mission is to get out and have fun with your family.
