We want you to be informed and "in the know!" 

By downloading the Village's new app from your app store, you can receive time-sensitive information directly to your mobile device. No more scrolling on social media to find "the post with all the details."

We are introducing the Experience Homewood Contest for the remainder of 2025! All you have to is:

1. Download the new Home Sweet Homewood app in your app store.
2. Allow notifications and wait for a special notification BUZZWORD to hit your phone!
3. Be the first caller to leave a message with your name, address, and correct buzzword. The first caller wins the prize for the month! (Phone number will be listed with the buzzword when it's sent!)

We have GREAT prizes from fabulous businesses in Homewood! You could win a $150 gift card for spa service, facial, or wax at Jonathan Kane Salon and Spa, or a staycation at the new Wind Creek Casino Hotel with $125 dinner gift card at their new rooftop steakhouse Alto. You could win a golf experience and $200 gift card at Ravisloe Country Club complete with a 30-minute golf lesson. We've got a $100 gift card to delicious Maple Tree Inn and Stoney Point Grill. And lastly, we have a $100 gift card to a mystery location in Homewood!

If you already have the app, then you're ready to play! If you don't have the new app yet, what are you waiting for? Download the app today and wait for the JUNE buzzword to pop up on your screen. We'll be playing this contest until the end of the year!

The fine print:

To be eligible to participate, the winner must be a current resident of the Village of Homewood and present a valid photo ID showing proof of residency when claiming their prize. Only one winner per household is allowed for the duration of the contest. Village of Homewood employees are not eligible to participate. The contest "buzzword" will be sent by the app's push notification feature at a random time during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. The first eligible participant to leave a voicemail with their name and address after receiving the buzzword will be declared the winner. The winner will be announced on the Village app. The prize must be claimed in-person during normal business hours, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon. All participants must be 18 years of age or older to win. Prizes cannot be redeemed for cash and are not transferable. The phone number to call will be listed with the buzzword.
