50 by 10 challenge

Make your Mama proud with the $50 by 5/10 challenge!

Our local businesses are a part of what makes our community so special. When you spend money locally, you make a big difference in the lives of folks right here in our community. Every purchase you make with a local vendor keeps more money locally. When you ‘vote’ with your dollars those dollars make a difference, in helping a local business hire more employees, investing in our communities future. Small businesses donate more to charity events and fundraisers, I mean c’mon Jeff Bezos sure isn’t going to sponsor your kids ball team. If only half of our 70,000 residents spent $50 locally, we’d pump $1.75 million back into our local economy!

To celebrate our local businesses we’ve launched 50 to 10! As a locally owned and small business ourselves we are challenging our listeners to spend $50 locally by May 10th to help support small business and in turn help our community. Thanks to our local partners in is challenge: Lake Missoula Tea CompanyThe AdvocatesLolo DrugAlpine TouchMood BoutiqueBernice’s Bakery, and The Bitterroot Breakfast Bus

If you do participate make sure to upload a pic of your shop small shop local receipt and we’ll put your name in a drawing for a shop small shop local prize pack with over $200 worth of goodies! We’re talking gift cards to some favorite local businesses like Skin ChicBurns St BistroStone of Accord, the TroughKoh ChangScotty’s Table, Ear CandyCompass BarbershopBernice’s Bakery is even adding a free cookie AND cupcake decorating kit and a bunch of radio goodies(we like coffee) from all of us here at Missoula Broadcasting Company.

The best part isn’t the time outdoors, though that’s certainly near the top of the list.

No, the best part about hunting, at least according to Jack, is all the tasty eating that comes for the six to nine months following.

Deer, elk and more deer – that sounds like breakfast, lunch and dinner to Jack.

This fall, Jack is absolutely delighted to offer up a sweet hunter’s package that honors not just the sport – but the eating part, too. Not one but TWO loyal Jackheads will be walking away this month with a $500 gift certificate to Snowy Mountain Rifles plus a chest freezer from Fred’s Appliance.

Snowy Mountain Rifles has been operating in Hamilton for years, but last year they expanded to a new store in Missoula out on Stockard Road. At either location, though, you’re going to enjoy great, personal customer service and a terrific selection of rifles, accessories, camo clothing and other gear, as well as services like gunsmithing and cerakoting.

Whether your game is hunting elk in the high country or shooting steel, Snowy Mountain can hook you up with extreme power, extreme range and extreme accuracy.

And Fred’s Appliance is pretty much a local legend at this point. Need a washer and dryer? Fred’s. New kitchen appliances? Fred’s. They offer big box store prices without being a big box store. They’re local, they’re personable, and they’ll take care of you.

So now the big question … how do you win?

Well, there are two ways. Starting Monday, Sept. 16th, listen out for the elk call on 105.9 Jack FM, and when you hear it just text the word “JACK” to 406-848-1059 … OR … starting that same day you can register in person out at Snowy Mountain Rifles. They’re located at 394 Old Corvalis Road in Hamilton, talk to Greg, he’ll help you out! They’re open 9-6 every weekday and they’ll be glad to get you all signed up.

Jack will draw two winners – the first on Oct 4th and the second on Oct 25th.

Best of luck to ya. And if you do manage to get something tasty in that there freezer, don’t forget who sent ya …

 

Win the ultimate hunting package!
