**CONTEST CLOSED**As part of our belief that it pays to shop local, each and every Friday this November Bookmans Mesa hosts a new contest called Freebie Fridays. This series showcases a different local business every week and offers you a chance to experience parts of Mesa that deserve a broader audience. This last week brings us back to the heart of Mesa, Downtown itself. As a community, we find not only is it about local business, but it’s about you too! We have for one lucky winner a $30 gift card that can be used at ANY of these Downtown Mesa Association local business that YOU choose!

Downtown Mesa Association

The Downtown Mesa Association offers Downtown Mesa Gift Cards. With over 100 participating businesses, from restaurants to museums to auto shops, recipients will get exactly what they want. These gift cards are perfect for out-of-town visitors, employees and anyone who enjoys the Downtown area. We’re betting that’s you.

Between our Shop Local Twitter Treasure Hunts, Ticket Tuesdays and Freebie Fridays, we have been able to give away many prizes this November and all of them for local restaurants, shops and concert halls. Our belief in strengthening local economies and our partnership with Local First Arizona is about supporting our community. Please do your part this holiday and learn more about the locally owned businesses and charities near you. Shop Local, Give Local in Arizona.
