With the holidays just around the corner and you’re thinking about gift giving, I challenge you to think locally. If you love the community you live in, think twice about what you are buying and giving. Perhaps think about what kind of gift your Mom might like, like an oil change at a locally owned shop, jewelry made by a local artisan, or a massage at the local day spa for without these local businesses, our community would not be what it is today. If we can all support our local small businesses first we in turn create a better community to live in.
Our magazine is all about local people, community events and local businesses. I hope that you are able to find services and places to shop, dine and enjoy this holiday season within the pages of this issue.

Happy holidays,
Deborah
