Spend Local This Holiday Season

IT’S HOLIDAY SEASON, which means the busiest shopping weekend is upon us! We want to remind you of the importance of shopping local this Black Friday and Small Business Saturday. According to Spend Local JP, for every $1 that is spent, 67 cents remains in the local community to help fund important initiatives, like education and infrastructure, which contribute to a better quality of life for all of us. So, we decided to put together a small list of local businesses that you could patron during this holiday season. Whether you decide to shop in person, online, or both we’ve got you covered!
