WIN WITH HALDIMAND COUNTY PULSE

Our 12 Days of Christmas is officially rolling, and the prize list looks pretty sweet. Twelve days, twelve prizes, twelve local businesses that said yes right away. They are the real MVPs here.

Every day until Dec 12, swing by our contest page and Spin to Win. Each prize comes from a local business that puts care, effort and personality into what they do.

Prize winners must be newsletter subscribers to claim their prize. If you are reading this on the web, hit subscribe so you do not end up watching someone else enjoy what could have been yours.

Here’s a shoutout to the local businesses who did not hesitate to support the Haldimand County Pulse and all of you who read it:

We thank you for supporting the businesses that support us!
