On Wednesdays we offer suggestions of things people can do in the area. This week’s What To Do Wednesday suggests Holiday Lists & Shopping Locally. To get the whole idea, keep reading!
The holidays are quickly approaching. That means meal preparation, decorating, gift buying, and more. The holidays can be a lot of work to get ready for. A common tradition for most people, is to exchange gifts with others at the holidays. Whether they are family, friends, or coworkers, we all have people we buy or make something for. This year, we have a challenge for you!
Part 1 of the Plan!
For this week’s What To Do Wednesday suggestion, we offer Holiday Lists & Shopping Locally. Lets start with the Holiday Lists! Take a few moments and make a list of every person that you want to give a gift to. After that list is complete, we have a second list for you to make. Make a list of every local business, including restaurants, that you would like to support this holiday season. If you need help making this list, you can go to our Member Directory and search for our Chamber Member businesses by name or category.

Part 2 of the Plan!
After you have made both of these lists, we challenge you to match them up! Make a plan to support our local businesses and restaurants by buying gifts and gift cards for those on your gift list. All too often, we look outside of our local community for our gift getting needs. We turn to online shopping, and traveling 30 minutes or more for a day of festive shopping. Why leave our community? We have plenty of options right here to satisfy your gift getting needs. The best part, is that you are helping your neighbors, your friends and family, your community.
This year has been difficult and unusual for everyone. But, our local businesses and restaurants have been hit hard and need our support more than ever. By supporting our local businesses and restaurants this holiday season, you could be helping them to keep the doors open, the lights on, and people employed. Lets not forget to mention that you can get really great gifts that people will enjoy in the process!
So, for this week’s What To Do Wednesday suggestion of Holiday Lists & Shopping Locally, we hope you are inspired to make a plan to support our local businesses and restaurants. You can rest assured that your support means more to them than you could ever know!
