Lander Ambassadors are launching the Shop Local Showdown

In the shadow of Wyoming’s Wind River Mountains sits Lander—a tight-knit town of ~7,500 where local businesses are the true heartbeat: cozy coffee shops, family-run stores, gear outfitters, and restaurants that feed both body and soul.

In a world dominated by big chains, these local gems need our support more than ever. That’s why the Lander Ambassadors are launching the “Shop Local” Showdown—a fun, 30-day community contest to celebrate and fund our favorite businesses!

Here’s how it works:

For one month, donate any amount via Givebutter—$1 = 1 vote for your top local pick (bookstore, bakery, gear shop—you name it). Watch a live leaderboard update in real time as votes pour in. Get instant alerts when your favorite climbs (or needs a boost!), sparking repeat support and friendly rivalry.

At the end, the top-voted business wins the title Lander Ambassadors’ “Shop Local” Showdown Champion and supports a local nonprofit!

Businesses get free exposure, viral buzz, potential sales spikes—all with free entry.

This isn’t just fundraising—it’s a love letter to Lander. A chance for neighbors to vote with their hearts (and wallets) and say: “We value you, and we’re in this together.”

Join the Showdown! Donate, vote, share, shop local, and help crown our town’s favorite business.

Your support builds a stronger Lander—one vote at a time.
