Happy Thanksgiving & Small Biz Saturday!

November 26, 2025

Dear Neighbor,

I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. May your day be filled with warmth and moments of gratitude, surrounded by friends and loved ones - and good food.

Small Business Saturday

Small Business Saturday, which is November 29 this year, shines a spotlight on locally owned businesses. It encourages folks to shop small and support their communities during the busy holiday shopping season.

By participating, you can find unique, personalized gifts while contributing to the local economy by keeping money within your community. Small Business Saturday fosters a sense of connection, strengthening neighborhoods and ensuring that local businesses, often the heart of their communities, continue to thrive.

Shop small in our community and support small businesses.
