Travel In Style As You 'Shop Small' In Fair Haven On Saturday

FAIR HAVEN, NJ — Fair Haven's Shop Small Saturday is on Saturday, Nov. 25, and businesses are making it fun to get around the borough.

A red trolley will drive around town 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., making stops on the east and west sides of town so attendees can visit local businesses, the borough says.

Small Business Saturday is a one-day event that takes place every November on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

The event was created in 2010 by American Express as a way to encourage support for small businesses during the Great Recession, according to the federal Small Business Administration.

Monmouth County Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to the Division of Economic Development, said “Small Business Saturday is an opportunity to support our local businesses. Please be sure to visit your favorite local shop or restaurant as you prepare for the holiday season.”

The county is involved in several local business initiatives you can read about here.
