Chamber Encourages Falls Church to ‘Live Local’

The Falls Church Chamber of Commerce is conducting its second annual Live Local Falls Church campaign to generate support of the local business community and educate residents about the importance of local spending.

Participants are asked to patronize local restaurants, shops, doctors, lawyers, fitness facilitates, and service providers, take a selfie or other photograph while there, post it to social media, type #LiveLocalFC, and tag the business.

Each use of the hashtag when used at a business is eligible for weekly random drawings for gift certificates to local businesses. Participation is free and open to anyone who posts, or wants to post, to social media.
