Small Business Saturday

Small is beautiful.
November 24th is
Small Business Saturday®
. Help us celebrate and support small businesses and all they do for our community. The day is an opportunity to encouraging others to #ShopSmall at all the local businesses we love. With the holiday season fast approaching, this is a great chance to support our neighbors, while keeping money in Basalt, instead of shopping at big box stores and online.
The Chamber is looking for retail, food & beverage, heath & wellness and other businesses who want to participate in the day.
DEADLINE: Friday, November 16.
We have lots of items to help our businesses promote shopping small: pens, reusable tote bags, welcome mats, posters and more.

Saturday, November 24 | All day
Shop. Eat. Drink.
All of Basalt
