St. Bernard Parish President Craig P. Taffaro, Jr. is again using this event
as the kick-off date for his annual CHRISTMAS CASH BACK program to reward
St. Bernard residents for doing their Christmas shopping with local vendors.
In the program that President Taffaro implemented in 2008, residents who
save their retail receipts spent at local stores could win cash as a thank
you for residents doing their holiday shopping in St. Bernard. Taffaro will
hold this year's CASH BACK event on Dec. 18 from 8 to 11 a.m. in the Sigur
St. Bernard Civic Center at 8245 W. Judge Perez Drive in Chalmette.
Residents must bring store receipts from any St. Bernard store showing
holiday spending from Nov. 18 to Dec. 18. For every $100 in receipts from
local vendors in that time period, residents will be given a ticket to make
them eligible for multiple cash drawings that will be held at 11 a.m. This
year, those who shop at the vendors participating in the Shop St. Bernard
event will get two tickets for every $100 spent for the entire time period
of Nov. 18 through Dec. 18.
