Yes I did. It's been talked about on our towns Facebook page all this week. Even went to a few other towns and everyone was out and about. All the Christmas decorations were on the lampposts. 

Very festive.

No, I didn't.  I shop locally fairly often anyway.

Did anyone Shop Small Saturday today?  I did.

Well I needed something anyway, so I drove into the small town near our house.  Its an old steel town whose businesses have suffered greatly due to all the malls.  A lot of vacant store fronts, but its slowly making a come back.

It was fun.  In talking with some of the shop owners I learned there are a few new and interesting shops/businesses coming.

I came home with a box of cherry cordials from the chocolatier shop for DH for Christmas, and a bottle of Dreaming Tree Chardonnay, but not the original item I went for.

No I didn't.  I typically don't shop locally because where I live I have no use for the businesses that are prevalent.  Banks and big chain drugstores?  No.  One Bakery I did like has been closed for at least two years and I just found out on Tuesday.  The only shopping I do locally is supermarket and drugstore (none of which are small).

There are no small businesses even remotely  near me.
