More than 3,500 competitors and their families expected to travel to Ottawa County to compete in the 2022 CMP National Trophy Rifle and Pistol Matches, Smallbore Rifle Matches, Air Rifle and Air Pistol Championships, CMP Games Events and Long Range Matches held at Camp Perry. These competitors and their families from around the U.S. support many of the businesses in the area and are a substantial source of revenue for the local economy.

To help assure their continued support of these businesses, the Ottawa County Chambers of Commerce and the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) is encouraging businesses to participate in the Competitor Discount Program. CMP Competitors will be issued a 2022 National Match Souvenir Button to identify them and will be encouraged to visit businesses that display a Competitor Appreciation Certificate in their establishment.

Businesses may extend a discount or other special offer to competitors wearing this souvenir button. If you choose to participate, your name and a short summary of your business will be featured on an information sheet included in each competitor “Welcome Packet” upon their arrival at Camp Perry.

Businesses that wish to participate in the Competitor Discount Program, complete the enclosed form and return it to the CMP by Wednesday, June 22. You may also fill out and submit the form online at https://thecmp.org/l/nm-discount-form/.

Businesses are also offered an opportunity to drop off your menus, flyers or coupons to be included in each Competitor Welcome Packet. We will put together 3,500 Competitor Welcome Packets this year. All materials should be delivered to the CMP, Camp Perry Training Site, Bldg 3 (CMP Headquarters), Monday – Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. no later than Wednesday, June 22.

If you have any questions, please contact the Jackie Slosnerick at the CMP at (419) 635-2141 ext. 626 or email jslosnerick@thecmp.org.
