East Hartford Eats Contest Rules and Guidelines

You could win a $50 gift card by supporting local East Hartford restaurants!

Supporting local businesses is crucial now, more than ever.  Our local restaurants need your support today to ensure they can keep their doors open for years to come.  While you cannot currently eat-in at one of our local restaurants, many are open for takeout, curbside pickup, delivery, or gift card purchases.

To help support our local restaurants, the Town of East Hartford is holding a contest with prizes of gift cards to local East Hartford restaurants, in the amount of $50 each, to fifteeen lucky winners. (Thanks to a generous donation, the number of winners has incresed from five to fifteen, and the contest has been extended by one week.)  Gift cards have no independent retail value, and may only be utilized at the restaurant(s) indicated.
