Reinvest in your community this holiday season by making the commitment to shop local.  Our Shop Local Holiday Gift Guide 2022 will help make it easier for you to find the must have holiday items from local merchants that will cover everyone on your holiday gift list.  

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. It may be easier to shop online, however 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.
