How Can You Win an Overnight Stay?

Anyone can enter to win by making a purchase, or by doing business ($25 minimum) with ANY of the Santa Ynez Chamber members and texting a photo of the receipt.

Why? Because May is recognized as both the National and California Small Business Month, and because we love our members and want to invite everyone (in the state-country-world)) to support them and have a little fun at the same time!!!!

Each purchase, transaction, (or nonprofit donation) can be entered for a chance to win! A new membership to the Santa Ynez Historical Museum counts, groceries at El Rancho? Yes, that counts too!
