Thanksgiving week is almost here, stockings might already be hung with care and the time to get your holiday shopping on is nigh. With the year’s biggest shopping days ahead, we want to remind our Bend followers and friends to support local this season.
Rather than getting caught in the crowds at major retailers on Black Friday, take your shopping to locally-owned businesses. Instead of hitting big box stores the next day, head to a Small Business Saturday event. Not sure where to start? We’ve compiled a list to help you support local this Black Friday and Small Business Saturday in Corpus Christi.
