Reinvest in your community this year by making the commitment to shop local. Local merchants have been preparing all year to have great selections for you and your family this holiday season. Our Shop Local Holiday Gift Guide 2021 will give you a look at the must have holiday items from local merchants that will cover everyone on your holiday gift list.
This year shop owners are recommending that you get your holiday shopping done early. Our community offers a wide variety of businesses to shop at without leaving town. Money spent by shopping at local businesses is more likely to go back into the community. The more money that stays in the community means better schools, better roads and more support for local nonprofit organizations, police and fire departments. Discover the best presents for Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, the kids or anyone else, while you shop local and support the community.
