Saturday, November 26 is Small Business Saturday all across
America. Firmly planting its roots between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, this annual
event has rallied and strengthened Americans in support of small independently
owned local businesses that create jobs, boost the economy and invigorate
neighborhoods across the country.
This day is one in which consumers are asked to shop at
their favorite small business and help fuel the economy. On one of the busiest
shopping weekends of the year, this Saturday especially recognizes the small
town business owner and the importance they bring to our country.
That can’t be more true than right here in our small town of
Barnesville. All our businesses, whether a retail business or not, depend on
their customers to remain open, to retain their employees and to make a living.
Remember these business owners and employees are your neighbors and friends. They
live here, their children are educated here, they go to the same events that
you do and are committed to making our community, just that - a community.
I would like to take the Small Business Saturday a little
further to beyond Saturday and into the following weeks ahead. I encourage each
of you to visit any of our fine businesses here in town and give them your
business. Services that we utilize are just as important as retail. Insurance,
banking, vehicle repair, tires, medical services, and others are necessities that
we have right here! No need to take your dollars outside of town. Give some
serious thought as to whom you can support locally rather than taking your
business elsewhere.
As we all work together we can indeed make our economy
stronger and our community stronger.
When we all shop small, it can be huge!
