Shop small this holiday season
For every dollar spent at a small business in Downtown Wabash, 67¢ stays in the local economy. When you shop small this holiday season, you’re supporting an independently owned business with all the heart and soul of a next door neighbor. Consider giving back to your community by shopping small while enjoying the hometown holiday cheer. Shop small all year round, but shop small on Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Artist Sunday and Cyber Monday. Want to spread more local cheer? Consider making a gift to a local nonprofit organization on Giving Tuesday, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
“The Jingle Jubilee is everything that's great about the holiday season in a small town. You have friends, family, neighbors all coming together to make memories and support our local businesses. I can't imagine a more joyful way to start the holiday season.”
