Eat, Shop, & Celebrate Local

December 17, 2020

The holidays are here, but this year will look different in the face of COVID-19. As we continue to take critical precautions to slow the spread and keep ourselves safe, many restaurant owners and employees are fighting their own battles just to keep their doors open and take care of their families this year.

But we can keep the holiday spirit of giving alive by eating, shopping and celebrating local this year!

How to Celebrate Locally:

  • Take-out from local restaurants
  • Find the perfect gifts at your local small businesses
  • Order your holiday pies and deserts from bakeries in your community
  • Consider purchasing gift certificates from local shops and restaurants as gifts for your friends and loved ones
  • Share with your family, friends and social media followers what local businesses you discovered this year

Make sure to also visit the Hartford Chamber of Commerce's website as well to partake in local events and raffles promoted through eating and shopping local this holiday season.

By keeping your business local this holiday season, you can help our communities celebrate local shops and restaurants for years to come!

I want to wish you all a happy holiday, and as always if you need any assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
