On Jan. 11, the Choose Humboldt Coalition kicked off its Restaurant Month via social media with a giveaway meant to boost sales at locally owned restaurants. Diners are invited to snap photos of their meals, whether takeout or at outdoor dining setups, and post them with a couple of hashtags (#dineouthumboldt and #choosehumboldt) for a chance to win a $50 gift card at the local restaurant of their choice.
Three winners will snag gift cards from now until the end of January. The Choose Humboldt Coalition is comprised of chambers of commerce and business districts across the county, Arcata Main Street, Eureka Main Street, Humboldt Made and the city of Eureka. It sponsored a holiday season promotion for local retail shops, as well. Read the press release below for details.
Choose Humboldt Shifts to Support Local Restaurants
Strong collaboration among the Choose Humboldt Coalition throughout the holiday season resulted in an uptick to local shopping and support of local businesses. This collaboration continues into the New Year and shifts focus to Humboldt County Restaurants, Food Trucks, Breweries, Coffee shops and Distilleries.
Humboldt Restaurant Month Kicks Off for the remainder of January!
Dining Out will be the focus, however, that looks – take out boxes, eating outdoors with blankets and patio heaters blasting or picking up a growler of your favorite local brew to enjoy with your household.
Enter to Win a $50 gift card to a local eatery of your choice as well! Starting Monday, January 11th take a picture of your local eating experience and share it on social media with #dineouthumboldt and be entered to win. Three winners will be chosen throughout the month!
