Chamber hosts holiday prize hunt

In an effort to make the holidays a little more fun and to acquaint Pueblo West residents with some of the local businesses, the Pueblo West Chamber of Commerce is holding a holiday prize hunt.

The rules are simple. Clues for the grand prize will be available at participating Pueblo West businesses. But first, prize hunters must figure out clues as to which businesses are participating.

The first list of clues as to the participating businesses is in this week's edition of The View. A second set of clues will be listed in next week's View.

Local businesses are donating goods and services to add to the total prize, which already has exceeded $500 and is growing.

The prize hunt was the brainchild of chamber member Judy Leonard, a staffer at the Pueblo West Metropolitan District office.

"A lot of people don't know what's available, right here in Pueblo West," Leonard said. "The idea is to make it fun for them to find out what kind of goods and services local businesses in Pueblo West offer."

Employees at participating businesses are not eligible for the contest.
