The Ultimate Gift Buying Guide

0

The Saturday after Thanksgiving, we celebrate Small Business Saturday.  A day to help recognize small businesses in our community and show our support.  When you support a small business, you are not only supporting a dream but you are supporting a family.  A family who can buy food for their children, watch them do what they love in their after-school activities and much more.  You are also supporting your community.  Did you know that for every $100 you spend at a local business, $68 goes back to support your community through taxes, payroll, and more.

This holiday season, we ask that you help support our small businesses this year.  We have put together a list of some of our favorite shops and gifts to buy your loved ones.
