As we enter the final few weeks of the holiday season and the end of 2020, which has been a year we will not soon forget, we need to remember to support local.
Support local initiatives have been around for years, but this year is different. Our small business owners deserve our support. This past year we have witnessed first-hand the resilience of shop owners and their employees who have gone the extra mile to make our visit and experiences unique. The independent shops and small business owners are what make the Rivers Routes region of southwest Illinois complete.

The Alton-headquartered Great Rivers & Routes Tourism Bureau has launched the Carryout Champs campaign to support struggling eateries.
“We want people in our region to become Carryout Champs and support locally owned restaurants in our … region,” said Cory Jobe, president of the tourism bureau. “By continuing to order from our local restaurants, we are helping to keep doors open and people employed.”
Diners are asked to show off their carryout orders by taking a photo of the food, tagging the restaurant and posting the photo on social media using the hashtag #CarryoutChamp. Newsletter Signup
