The annual "Shop in High River and Win" event is back again this year.

Lynette McCracken with the Chamber of Commerce says entering the contest is as easy as buying something from a local business.

"What you have to do is go to any of the participating merchants in High River. You'll see that there's a box there, a display area in their place of business that'll have a drop box, they'll also have entry ballots. So what you do is you buy something from that merchant, you fill out your ballot, and then attach a copy of your receipt to that ballot and you drop it in the box."

The winner could walk away with thousands of dollars in prizes.

The contest starts Saturday, November 28 and winds up New Year's Eve.

McCracken says they'll name the winner Monday, January 25.
