Great Santa Maria Takeout promotion runs Jan. 22-31. (Dave Alley/KEYT)
Over the next 10 days, a select number of participating businesses, including restaurants, wineries and breweries are offering special deals and discounts.
The promotion is similar to the Chamber s annual Restaurant Month held each January, but with a different spin this year. We are focusing on takeout, said Taz Dougherty, Santa Maria Valley Chamber of Commerce Member & Visitor Services. We changed the name to The Great Santa Maria Takeout, focusing on individuals going in, picking up takeout and then being able to still support restaurants while staying safe.
Unlike past years, when most businesses would offer a special with the dollar amount matching the year, such as $20.21, this time, the deals vary from place to place.
