Columbia-Montour Quarterly Vol. 15: January - March 2025

n

Coming next month

A brand new passport experience is coming to the area next month, organized by the Columbia-Montour Visitors Bureau. The 2025 Entertainment Passport will feature fourteen events and locations with live music and cultural entertainment at the forefront. Beginning in early February, anyone interested will be able to sign up to receive a FREE digital passport, delivered to their mobile device. Then, pass- holders will bring their mobile passport to the qualifying events and utilize the geographic based check-in tool to confirm their atten- dance. Check-ins are time/date sensitive and will be accepted anytime during the show as well as up to 1 hour before and 2 hours after- ward. Each event that participants visit will provide a chance to win a prize, which will vary between $50 gift cards, merchandise bundles, or a pair of tickets to a future show at that specific venue. Winners will be selected in the days following each show and notified via email. Each check in will also count as an entry for participants toward an end-of-passport Grand Prize drawing. The more stops made through- out the passport; the better a person’s chances. Expected grand prize package items include season tickets to the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble and several hundred dollars in gift cards for area eateries/breweries. The first event that qualifies for the passport will take place on Wednesday, February 26, and the final event will take place on Saturday, May 24.
