Play Five by Five - Summit's Own Game

Summit
Downtown, Inc. is sponsoring “Five by
Five,” a new and fun interactive game for customers to play while shopping in
downtown Summi



Playing is easy! 
Just visit any of the over 70 participating businesses in the downtown to
pick up a game card and begin playing.  “Five
by Five” posters will be displayed in the windows of participating merchants
and you can play wherever you see this sign.





The game card is similar to a Bingo card but instead
of five columns headed with a letter spelling out the word B I N G O, each
column of the “Five by Five” game card will feature a street in the downtown
shopping district.  The street name
headings are Beechwood Road, Maple Street, Springfield Avenue, Union Place and
Summit Avenue.

Whenever a customer makes a purchase at a business
on any of the five streets, the merchant will place a sticker in the column
under their street heading.  The object
of the game is to complete a row of five and this can be done by playing
horizontally, vertically or diagonally. 
The customer decides how they want to play.  You can visit five different businesses on

the same street and make a purchase at each, or visit five different streets

and make a purchase at one business on each of the streets.





Once five spaces in a row have been completed, the
game card is left with the merchant who placed the last sticker on the card and
that shopper will be entered into a random drawing to win one of ten $50 Summit
gift certificates. You must be 18 years or older to play.  Winners will be notified by phone or email.

According to Mark Wadmond, Events Chairman of Summit
Downtown, Inc., “One of our own downtown merchants came up with the “Five by
Five” game concept and we are very excited to offer shoppers a chance to win
one of ten $50 Summit gift certificates. 
We hope that customers will enjoy playing at their local favorites as
well as trying out something new.”
