LOOK FOR THIS SIGN!

To know who’s locally owned

this holiday season.

Shop local ONLINE! We get it, shopping from

your couch often beats finding parking and waiting in line.

But plenty of locally owned businesses also offer online

shopping and shipping. Check online for local first, and

feel better spending money in your sweatpants.
