The Knoxville Chamber of Commerce has announced the return of its “Snowball Drop” during this year’s Living Windows celebration. Chamber Director Emma Skahill says this event will give participants a chance to receive great shopping deals at local businesses during the holiday season.

“Knoxville businesses will have deals and giveaways that correspond with numbers on ping pong balls. During Living Windows, we will throw out all the ping pong balls, and you can catch up to three balls to receive three different deals. They’ll be redeemable throughout the holiday shopping season, and you can start cashing them in on Small Business Saturday, and use them through Christmas Eve. We hope this will encourage people to shop local and continue to support small local businesses throughout the holidays.”

Each participating business will have 15 balls with their choice of deals. Businesses must be a Knoxville Chamber of Commerce member, and must register by November 8th. This year’s Snowball Drop will be at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 18th during Living Windows.
