The Chamber encourages everyone to do your part to help strengthen our economy and community by buying locally: “Keep Your Town Alive to Thrive!” Participating businesses include Brissonte, Ryer’s Country Store, Wishing Well Gift Shop, Fit Revolution, Bertucci’s, The Hitching Post Gift Shop, The Corner Closet, and Aine’s Boutique. Contact these fantastic local stores to learn more about specific deals on 9/14-16 and join the movement!
