What Is Punch & Play?

Visitors receive a Punch & Play Card. Then earn punches by engaging with Rib Lake businesses. Completed cards are entered into prize drawings featuring local gift certificates and outdoor recreation packages.

Kickoff: July 14, 2026 at Music in the Park Squid City Slingers concert

Wrap-Up: August 11, 2026 at Music in the Park Logan Spicer concert

How Your Business Can Participate

You choose what works best for you. Here are a few easy options:

✔️ Punch for Purchase

Purchase earns a punch, no minimum spend required. Limit to one punch per day.

✔️ Punch for Engagement

  • Visit Your Business – Customers stop by your location to learn about what you offer.

  • Meet With a Representative – Example: meet with a credit union staff member to discuss services.

  • Participate in an Activity – Example: the library offers a punch when someone checks out a book (limit one punch per day).

  • Enter a Drawing – Customers enter into a prize drawing organized by your business.

  • Support a Cause – Customers can earn a punch by donating to a cause your business supports (for example: Rib Lake Food pantry).

✔️ Punch for Google Review

Loved your visit? Share it! A quick Google review really helps our word of mouth. Thank you!

  1. Customer leaves a Google review.

  2. Shows proof in person at your location.

  3. Earns a punch.

No Storefront? No Problem.

Businesses without a public location can still participate by:

  • Providing promotional materials (business cards, menus, brochures, coupons)

  • Donating a prize for added sponsorship recognition. Prizes will be promoted on Facebook and you will receive call outs at Music in the Park concerts.

We want everyone involved.
