Shoutout Ken-Tal
This November, we are celebrating our community in a big way. Our local businesses have shown resilience, adaptability, creativity, and compassion throughout this challenging year. It is time for us to put a spotlight on each of them.
We are asking our community members to support local in November by shopping, writing reviews, following on social media, and spreading kindness to those who have been putting effort into keeping their doors open for you.
Are You In?
Here’s how you can join in on the action. Each day, we will be celebrating a different industry within our community. We simply ask that you take one action a week to make your favorite business owners do a happy dance. We are asking for everything from referrals, to testimonials, to purchasing from local shops.
