Final week for Main Street Madness punch card promotion in Lansing

Main Street Lansing has been anticipating a record-breaking “Main Street Madness” promotion again this year with even more prizes. Last year, $157,500 was spent in downtown Lansing by “Main Street Madness” punch card participants.

The event is underway and shoppers should look for a participating merchant poster and pick up a free punch card. The cards can then be validated with either punches or stamps in five-dollar increments for purchases made up until the promotion deadline of this Sunday, December 18. Once a card is full ($100 in purchases), it can be turned in and another card started, with no limit on the number of cards that can be filled and entered for the “Main Street Madness” drawing.

Completed cards are then entered into a drawing for one of four Downtown Dollar prizes. The prizes this year are $150, $100, $75 and $25 and will be awarded in Lansing Downtown Dollars. Other prizes, including gift certificates from Lansing businesses, will also be awarded.

Completed cards should be filled out on the reverse side with a name and contact number and can be dropped off at any participating Main Street business or at the Main Street Lansing office by Saturday, December 17. The drawing will take place Tuesday, December 20.
