October Designated as Dine Out Mississippi Month
As Governor Haley Barbour has proclaimed October as Dine Out Mississippi Month, restaurants throughout the state will be participating in the largest customer appreciation program on record.
“Right now we have over 200 restaurants from all over the state signed up to participate,” said Mike Cashion, Executive Director of the Mississippi Hospitality & Restaurant Association. “What is really interesting is that the types of restaurants signed up include everything from fast food to full service.”
Bernard Bean, President of the MHRA adds, “Mississippi has an abundance of high quality diverse restaurants. We are proud to be able to offer this incentive for valued customers.”
Customers are encouraged to dine out at participating restaurants and save their receipts. Once they reach $200 in receipts, they simply mail the receipts to the MHRA office where the first 2500 will receive a free $20 gift certificate.
In support of Governor Barbour’s proclamation, Lt. Governor Phil Bryant adds, “As Mississippi families gather around the table to enjoy fellowship with friends and family what better way today than in a local eatery. I encourage everyone to support your local restaurants as they have a significant impact on both the local economy as well as the State’s.”
To find a participating restaurant or to obtain more information on redemption procedures, customers can go to www.dineoutms.com or call the MHRA office at 800.898.0343.
