The holidays are here and giving to others is the reason for the season
Take this to the bank! 67 cents on EACH dollar spent at any small independent locally owned businesses goes right back into investing in our community through expanding or new businesses, more jobs, more dollars. Pretty fabulous, right?
The holidays are here and giving to others is ramped up at this time of year.
Let's stretch those dollars and rock our community with the gift of giving by building a strong local economic base. Check out the merchants and businesses, non profits and much more in our community for services, shopping, food, arts and entertainment. Look for the established professionals as well as the emerging start up. it is okay to be picky because that high bar will create more demand for top quality products, craftsmanship, professional services including health/wellness and any kind of contracting.
With the holidays here, check out Small Business Saturday - look for the signs at your favorite merchants as well as pop up markets with a wide variety of specialty vendors on farms and in fun places. such as Plum Granny Farm and Buffalo Creek Farm and Creamery. Check the local newspaper and radio outlets plus community social media!
Thank you for being a huge part of the good stuff going into our community and for shopping with/following our vendors to other good food places - small markets, restaurants, and sippin' spots!
See you Saturday in Old Salem or Tuesday at Fiddlin' Fish!
