Small Business Saturday is Saturday, November 27, and according to Rebecca Adcock, it’s about more than just shopping at local stores.
Adcock, the executive director of the Patrick County Chamber of Commerce said the event is “about celebrating and sharing the small business that are part of our lives – from corner stores to family-owned eateries to vendors at the farmers’ market.”
She added “they’re the places we call our own and can’t imagine living without. It’s these businesses and the people behind them that make our communities unique. And when they succeed, we all do.”
Small Business Saturday was created in 2010 to help support small businesses and “the communities that we love,” Adcock said. “Since then, it’s become a holiday shopping tradition that leaves many inspired to ‘Shop Small’ year-round.”
Many local businesses in Patrick County will be open, with specials and sales slated for the event, Adcock said, and added, “invite your friends, family and customers to shop small with you and share their favorite places.”
