Keep in mind as holiday gift buying approaches...

This holiday season purchase 3 more American made holiday gifts from a local shop or gallery. You can save Main Street, small local businesses and our creative communities! When you shop at a national chain or big box dollars are transferred our of the community in just a few hours. When you shop local 68 cents of every dollar get recycled back into your community. Buy American made and every penny of every dollar stays right here! Fixing our economy is up to each of us think about the impact you can make by pledging to do this and encouraging your friends to do so as well. We are not saying to boycott big box stores a & chain retailers. But, if you take the time to look at what your local businesses have to offer and can also do some of your purchasing there it will make a big difference in your local economy, local job market and the overall American economy.
