Support Your Local, Independent Merchants

Let’s build an annual tradition that strengthens local economies, expands employment, nurtures a sense of community, and provides a more relaxed, fun, and rewarding gift-buying experience.

If you join us in shifting those dollars to locally owned, independent businesses, we’ll all generate 2-3 times as much economic activity in our community than if we had spent our money at a national chain.

As customers, we are about to spend a great percentage of our annual shopping budget between Nov. 1 and Dec. 31.

By choosing to spend that money at local, independent businesses, we have a direct, substantial impact on our local economy.

Make sure to spread the word!
