November 30 is Small Business Saturday

I'd like to join with people all across this great country in encouraging you to shop locally this Saturday, November 30, 2013. This is recognized as Small Business Saturday, and the event helps celebrate small businesses in America.

Small businesses create jobs for local residents; they help provide for great educational opportunities, and they generally support the local community.

So in the days of shopping that began early in the evening of Thanksgiving, continues even today in "Black" Friday, remember those small businesses. Spend your dollars in our local community where a dollar means more than just a dollar. See my post on the Dacula web site.

Don't forget to join us at Olde Mill Park at 7:00 p. m. on Monday, December 2, 2013 for our annual Christmas tree lighting. Small businesses sponsor this event and help with all the activities associated with the event.
