Over $7500 ($7587.54) is going directly back to businesses in Pierre and Fort Pierre from purchases made during Friday’s (May 1) May Day Extravaganza.
The Pierre Area Chamber of Commerce and Dakota Radio Group teamed up to help businesses as they struggle amid the COVID-19 pandemic by encouraging people to shop using the newly launched www.pierrearea.shopwhereilive.com website. People who spent $100 or more were entered into drawings for $500 in Pierre Pride Dollars. Those winners are:
- Jess Bardeson
- DT Meyer
- Carrie Cushing
- Jami Beck
- Laurie Mikkonen
Chamber CEO Jamie Seiner encourages shoppers to check the site often to see updates from participating businesses. She says any businesses in Pierre or Fort Pierre can be included on the website.
