And just like that it’s the week of Thanksgiving. We’re hoping that your gatherings bring you together with the people that you are most grateful for...

The shelves are already lined with Christmas regalia and the Black Friday sales circulars and ads are coming in at warp speed. We want to help support our local businesses, especially this year, for a lot of them have experienced closings, layoffs, or worse. They are being hit even harder with the online shopping competition than they’ve experienced in the past.  

What we want to help you remember is that our community supports you. Shopping local this year means more now than ever. There is such a difference when you shop in your community businesses. We weren’t at all surprised to hear the extent of precautions they are all taking to protect their customers through this Covid-19 time.
