Some Highlights reported from this year's Holiday Shopping Season show major growth in the economy with Smaller Stores having a BIG IMPACT! After speaking with, visiting and .............. yes, shopping many of our local businesses, the general feedback I received from many of our local retailers, restaurants, services etc.was very positive for the holiday season. Many of the retailers took advantage of the Black Friday push to promote their product. Following Black Friday, was Small Business Saturday and many of the retailers took part in The Cookie Crumb Trail. This event was once again a success and helped highlight the businesses through media advertising and also brought in attendees to their place of business ........ some for the first time! This is a major step in building a local economy that is strong and creates a good foundation for growth! Let's keep the momentum going all throughout the year and continue to support our local businesses and all that they have to offer!
