Parkes Shire Council in partnership with the Parkes Chamber of Commerce are excited to launch the annual Shop Parkes '12 Days of Christmas' Campaign to encourage local spend within our Shire this festive season.
The campaign will promote the benefits that shopping local has on our community and hopes to decrease the need or desire to shop online and outside the region.
After years of drought, bushfires, a pandemic and more recently, flash flooding, it is more important than ever to continue supporting our local businesses during and following these turbulent times.
Mayor of Parkes Shire Cr Ken Keith OAM said, "The past few years have undoubtedly been some of the hardest our Shire has faced. The COVID pandemic and flooding has proven how unpredictable the world we live in is, and furthermore, outlines the economic challenges our local small business community face.
"I encourage everyone to support local this Christmas and get involved in the '12 Days of Christmas' campaign, to ensure our business community continues to grow and strengthen," added Cr Keith.
