Happy Thanksgiving!

With much to be grateful for this year, it was important for us to reach out and wish you a very safe and happy Thanksgiving.

This day reminds us all to acknowledge the blessings of the past year and to give thanks to the people who have helped us through tough times.

We hope your home is filled with love and warmth, and that you are able to feel a sense of togetherness.

Shop small this holiday season!

As we head into the heart of the holiday season, we want to share a friendly reminder that Small Business Saturday is coming up on Nov. 29. This nationwide celebration encourages all of us to support the local shops, restaurants and family-owned establishments that make our community unique.

Whether you’re picking out gifts, grabbing a meal or simply exploring your neighborhood, choosing to spend locally has a real impact. Even if you’re watching your budget this year, there are still meaningful ways to lift up small businesses, such as leaving a kind review, recommending them to a friend, or showing your support by engaging with them on social media.

Every bit helps. Let’s come together to uplift the small businesses that keep our community vibrant, connected and thriving. Remember to shop small this holiday season!
