Shop Local


Photo


This is to remind everyone to shop local during the coming holiday season. There are many small businesses in your area that are trying to "hang on" during these tough times. They depend on holiday sales to remain solvent, and believe me, their smiles are wider than any you'll see at the "big box" stores!

There are also many craftspersons and artists who would also appreciate your business.  So keep that in mind when Black Friday, November 23, rolls around. If  there are businesses in your city neighborhood or your small town, that you'd really HATE to see leave, please patronize them, and then they'll be able to stay.
