Summer means vacation for many of us.  However, taking a vacation doesn’t have to include traveling far to get away.  Take a staycation this year!  Stay close to home and experience all the Monadnock Region has to offer.  You’ll save money at the gas pumps.  Plus, any money you do spend will recirculate in our local economy, building more community health and wealth.

To get you inspired, we're offering our Independents Month Staycation Challenge again in 2024. This year's Staycation Challenge is sponsored by The Local Crowd Monadnock and Monadnock Food Co-op!

HOW TO ENTER: THIS YEAR'S CHALLENGE IS OVER!

Enter our giveaway today by signing on to our Indie Month Staycation Challenge. Take our pre-survey before July 31, and a post-survey by August 12, 2024.  Complete both surveys for your chance to win our Staycation Giveaway package.
