Dear Small Businesses, we love you.

This coming weekend is a big deal for small businesses, especially with so many of us seeing a decrease in sales due to COVID. So, in the hopes of inspiring you to shop local for Small Business Saturday, I have put together a short list of some of my favorite local businesses. Be sure to check them out and find something special for your loved ones this year. Also, keep an eye on our page for more ways to support local during this time.
