Description

New to this year’s Greater Huntington Candy Cane Trail, the Huntington Regional Chamber of Commerce will host dual kickoff events on Thursday, November 9, from 5 - 8 p.m. at Pullman Square. The kickoff events will feature holiday desserts, hot chocolate, and a chance for attendees to win $500 when they support local!

The kickoff events will be an evening for attendees to show support for local businesses as they unite for a festive small business shopping crawl, discovering unique gifts and spreading holiday cheer throughout their community. Chamber staff and volunteers will be at both locations to help participants sign up for the passport. Participants who earn 500 points during the kickoff event period will be entered to win a $500 cash prize, which will be announced on Friday, November 10.

Launched in 2022, the Greater Huntington Candy Cane Trail is a free mobile passport that promotes and incentivizes supporting local for the holiday season. Beginning on November 1, residents of and visitors to the Huntington area can visit huntingtonchamber.org/trail/ to sign up for the passport, which will run until January 1. Throughout the Trail, participants can earn points by checking in at participating businesses, redeeming exclusive offers, and attending events. Points can then be redeemed for prizes, which include a commemorative ornament, commemorative ceramic mug, and entries into a drawing for a $1,000 cash grand prize!

The $1,000 Grand Prize winner will be announced on Wednesday, January 3, 2024.

Businesses in Cabell and Wayne counties with physical storefronts can become a Candy Cane Trail merchant for free, and are not required to be a member of the Chamber.
