DOWNTOWN HOLIDAY SHOPPING!
With the holidays just around the corner, get a jump on gift buying, dining, and culture, right here in your downtown neighborhood! Incredible deals are happening as we speak, so take advantage of the downtown deals and the convenience of shopping right in your own backyard, while supporting your local businesses! Here’s a taste of some special offerings:
Small Business Saturday
Saturday (yep, that’s tomorrow), November 27
