A chance to shop downtown Pontiac and take part in a lot of special events can garner you a golden ticket today and tomorrow during Chocolate Fall Fantasy.

Jessica Finkenbinder, interim director of PROUD, said this event is a fun, family friendly chance for people to get together, do some downtown shopping, and people purchasing chocolate and caramel whips can also potentially win.

“Inside the whips, there is going to be coupons. So each whip will have a coupon in it and five whips will have a golden ticket in it. The golden ticket has a $60 value. The $60 value can be a gift certificate to a restaurant, a shop, or Chamber Bucks – different stuff like that,” Finkenbinder said.

Several other organizations are joining in on the festivities on the square, including the Pontiac Area Chamber of Commerce. The event will be 10 to 5 today and 10 to 2 Saturday.
