OUR LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS ARE OUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS AND AN OUTSTANDING GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE BEARING GREAT RISK TO PURSUE GRAND DREAMS.

We all hear that local business is critical to our local economy and although very true, that message alone fails to give us enough reason to spend an extra dollar or go in rather BEN PALMER: Owner / Operator than the convenience of the drive thru. If not supported, our locally owned and operated businesses will not stand against the buying and marketing power of big business and we will all lose something special.
