The Chamber of Commerce is encouraging the community to "put your money where your HEART is" this holiday season and shop small.
This is a way for you to support the people who support your community.
Here is a few reasons how shopping small helps our community:
Your tax dollars stay local.
Local store owners create local jobs.
Local owners buy local services themselves.
Small businesses create a sense of community.
It feels good to help neighbors and friends succeed.
It's about preserving the community.
