Main Street Kent is encouraging area residents to play Foodie February BINGO
Highlighting the great variety of eateries and cafes in Kent, Foodie February is designed to encourage people to take their tastebuds on a tour of Kent, trying new places and supporting local establishments throughout the month.
Through Feb. 29, anyone can pick up a Foodie February BINGO card at a participating business and get it stamped wherever they make a purchase during the month. Then, they can take a picture of the BINGO card and email it to info@mainstreetkent.org by March 1 and be entered for a chance to win the Kent eGift Card.
For each BINGO on the card (horizontal, diagonal or vertical), participants will be entered in a drawing for a $25 Kent eGift Card. Two BINGOs will get them two entries, and so on. Those who get the entire BINGO card stamped will be entered for a chance to win a $250 Kent eGift Card. On Friday, March 8, a random drawing will be conducted from all Foodie February BINGO card submissions and Main Street Kent will give away $750 in Kent Cards, thanks to the support of Emerson Consumer Care, in Acorn Alley in Kent. There will be twenty $25 Kent eGift Card winners, and one $250 Kent Card winner! Winners will be contacted via email. The Kent eGift Card can be used at nearly 40 Kent businesses.
