SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY ENCOURAGES SHOPPERS TO “BUY LOCAL”

  

The low temperatures and rain in the forecast have local businesses in Brenham hoping that you will still choose to spend your hard-earned money locally today during “Small Business Saturday.”

Local businesses contribute greatly to the local economy, and many businesses in the area are holding sales to encourage shoppers to purchase their holiday gifts in town instead of traveling outside the area.

Another reason to shop locally is local businesses support community groups, allows businesses to localize other professional services, and local sales tax collected contribute to the upkeep of roads and bridges, parks, and police and fire departments.
