Happy holidays from Asheville Grit! We're thrilled to celebrate this holiday season with our fans, and to show our appreciation, we're running a huge giveaway for 12 days: it's the 12 Days of Grit-Mas, y'all! Starting on Monday, December 12th, we've got some wonderful giveaway from some of our favorite Asheville-based businesses. To enter, you'll just input your email address at the bottom of the daily item announcement you're gunning for. We will contact you via the email you enter to confirm your prize and send further details. Note: E-mails will not be shared or sold. Inputting your email will enter you to win, and your email will also be added to a list to receive our weekly newsletter, coming in the New Year, which will include tailored content, announcements from Asheville Grit and Ashvegas, giveaways, and more. You may opt out of a newsletter subscription at any time. You can enter for every giveaway, but you can only win once. We'll announce the winner of each giveaway 24 hours after it begins!

From gift certificates to tickets, food and drink to outdoor gear and more, the 12 Days of Grit-Mas will have you celebrating.
