JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The need to shop local and support small businesses is greater than ever, and Downtown Vision has brought back a fun -- and money-saving -- incentive for Small Business Saturday.
Shoppers are encouraged to participate in a scavenger hunt at participating businesses in the heart of the Downtown Jacksonville community as they #ShopSmall on Saturday.

All you have to do is download the Eventzee app, create an account with a valid email address and then hunt for QR Codes at the participating shops and scan them. Purchase is not required to play.
The first 100 shoppers who seek out and scan at least five QR Codes on Small Business Saturday will receive a $20 #DTJax e-Gift Card from Downtown Vision.
All shoppers who scan at least five QR Codes will be entered into a drawing to receive a $100 #DTJax e-Gift Card. Hunters can receive additional drawing entries when they participate in photo challenges in the Eventzee app.
