The Heart of the Valley Chamber of Commerce is helping local small businesses, by handing out gift cards.
Executive Director Nicci Sprangers says they offered a free, $25 card to anyone buying a $50 gift card at about 45 businesses.
The sale started at 9 a.m. Tuesday, and she says they ran out of all of them, in 11 minutes.
She reports people bought 875 gift cards. The chamber was able to get about $60,000 to those small businesses, through the effort.
