Local Lift: Oak Bowl & Mario's Pizza, Tamayo’s, The Hive Salon Co., & Aesthetically Pure GIVEAWAY
Welcome to my Local Lift giveaway!
Thanks for stopping by to check out what is included in this latest giveaway. In case you are new here, let me give a brief overview of how it works: With each Local Lift, I purchase gift cards to local Whidbey Island businesses to give away to the community. And with each giveaway, I highlight the businesses in a blog post and on social media. This all started back at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic as a “small business boost.” Local businesses still need our help, and the holidays are a great time to shop local!
Thank you for joining me, and thank you for shopping local!
This week’s giveaway includes:
Two $75 gift certificates to Oak Bowl & Mario's Pizza
Two $60 gift certificates to Tamayo’s
Two $75 gift certificates to The Hive Salon Co.
Two $80 gift certificates to Aesthetically Pure
Winners will be drawn at random. To enter, head on over to this Facebook post and follow the instructions. (All you have to do is leave a comment on the linked Facebook post to enter!) Deadline for giveaway entries is 5pm PST on Tuesday, December 14.
Oak Bowl & Mario's Pizza
Oak Bowl & Mario's Pizza in Oak Harbor is a local icon, and a must-visit spot if you’ve never been! There is a LOT happening here—you can go bowling, host all kinds of parties here, have fun in the arcade, hang out in the card room and lounge, and dine at Mario’s Pizza (their pizza is super popular and people rave about it!).
First thing’s first: If you’re someone who plans ahead, Oak Bowl & Mario’s Pizza is hosting a New Year’s Eve Party perfect for the whole family. Enjoy unlimited glow bowling, sparkling cider and a champagne toast, a meal package and more for a flat rate. And all throughout the year, there’s opportunity to host birthday parties and other fun get-togethers, and you can even join a bowling league, and participate in tournaments and youth programs.
There is something for everyone to enjoy at Oak Bowl & Mario's Pizza, and that goes for the menu at Mario’s Pizza too! There is far more than pizza here, although that’s definitely the main attraction. The menu also features burgers, salads, hot subs, and a large selection of appetizers like garlic rolls, chicken strips, mozzarella sticks, nachos, and more.
