I may be late sharing this, but the message is still the same! Shopping local supports your community- your friends and neighbors! In the coming days, consider supporting local businesses! (and smile at strangers!)

🌟 This Small Business Saturday, let’s celebrate LOCAL! 🎁

Small Business Saturday is more than a shopping day—it's a chance to support the heart of our community. Every dollar spent at a local business stays in Minot and helps create jobs, support dreams, and build a stronger, more connected community.

Not looking to leave the house today? There are ways you can help support our local businesses right here on social media! Reacting to posts, tagging friends, leaving comments, and interacting with their profiles can help get them in front of new faces and make new customer connections.
