As we move deeper into the winter and the hustle and bustle of the holiday season fades away, I implore you to remember the importance of supporting our local businesses during the slow season. These small enterprises are the lifeblood of our communities and the backbone of our economy. Without them, our towns and cities would lack the unique character and charm that make them so special. Seek out the small, independently owned businesses in your area and give them your patronage. Together, we can keep our communities strong and vibrant, even in the midst of the winter doldrums.
