Big R’s sale will start on Tuesday and will run through Monday, Dec. 2, and Walmart will have Black Friday deals until Sunday, Dec. 1. Their sales started Monday.
While out shopping, be sure to be on the lookout for decorated wreaths scattered around businesses in Cortez and Montezuma County. There are 50 wreaths in total.
To participate in the annual Festival of Wreath’s scavenger hunt, free “passports” must be acquired from the Colorado Welcome Center or the LoQuiz app must be downloaded. Once the LoQuiz app is downloaded, scan the QR code provided by the Cortez Retail Enhancement Association to get access to the right page.
The more wreaths found, the greater the chance of winning up to $1,000 in Cortez Cash. Each participating wreath has a unique code to be put in the passport or entered into the app.
The wreath scavenger hunt started on Monday and will go until Sunday, Dec. 8. All passports must be turned in to the Colorado Welcome Center by the end of the day on Dec. 8. All entries in the app will automatically be entered on Dec. 8.
