“Small Business Saturday” occurs each year on Thanksgiving Day weekend, encouraging people to get out and shop at their local small businesses. When we shop locally, we help our community, our local merchants, and ourselves. Our small businesses are asked many times each year to help sponsor local events, give merchandise as gifts for auctions and drawings, and provide cash donations for charities. Now you can give back by being part of the movement of shoppers, small business owners, and civic leaders coming together to support small businesses and help our community thrive.
