Shop locally this holiday season and support our local economy!
The annual Buy Local First campaign is back again this year from Nov. 26 – Dec. 24 with another great opportunity for businesses and community members to join together to support the local community and economy this holiday season.

Why Buy Local First?
- PROSPERITY
Every dollar spent at a locally owned independent business generates two to four times more economic benefit in the community than a dollar spent at a globally owned business. - STABILITY
Local ownership minimizes the chance that a business will pull up stakes and move to another town. - FLEXIBILITY
Local business owners are generally more available to their customers to develop personal relationships, hear feedback and accommodate customer requests. - DIVERSITY
Local businesses help a community retain its unique character. - SUSTAINABILITY
Spending money at locally-owned businesses decreases transportation costs, reduces the use of underpaid labor, and rewards those that are not shipping jobs overseas.
