Move over Black Friday… Saturday, November 24th, 2018 is Small Business Saturday! Small Business Saturday is an American shopping holiday that takes place the first Saturday after Thanksgiving during one of the busiest shopping periods of the year. It’s the perfect day to celebrate and support small businesses and everything they do for our communities.
Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to partner with multiple small businesses and their owners. These partnerships (and friendships) have allowed me to experience, first hand, the dedication and countless hours that go in to owning a business. The passion these business owners possess is infectious, they go above and beyond every single day to ensure their small businesses thrive and it shows!
If you’re looking for a few small businesses to support this holiday season, I’m sharing a few that are near and dear to me. Although most of the small businesses featured in this post are Oregon based, you can still shop them via their website or Instagram!
