“Why Shop Local?”
Shopping local is so much more than the good feeling you get from doing so. Statistics show that for every $100 spent at your LOCAL stores, services, and businesses, 68% stays in your local economy. For every $100 spent in a national chain, only 32% stays in your local community.
FREE ADMISSION • FREE PARKING • FUN!

Follow the Candy Cane Path!)
