Staycation Raffle Draws 123 Entries in 2 Months in Downtown Augusta
Thursday, November 12th, 2026
Destination Augusta is running a staycation raffle to support local businesses on Broad Street.
In two months, the campaign has drawn 123 entries, and receipts show $11,000 spent at downtown businesses.
Breannah Newton, director of operations for The Frog Hollow Group, said spending at downtown businesses can have a direct effect on the people who work there.
“A gift card purchase, buying a Christmas present at a bookstore or the record store, can mean that somebody gets to pay their light bill,” Newton said.
