"We are so fortunate to have incredible retail throughout St. Charles,” St. Charles Business Alliance Executive Director Jenna Sawicki said in a news release. “While you’re downtown enjoying all the Holiday Homecoming festivities, make sure to stop by these shops to experience the benefits of shopping small this season.”
