In the Toledo Region we know that It Matters Where You Make It, which is why we also know it is important to support our local small businesses. The Saturday after Thanksgiving is Small Business Saturday. Celebrate our community’s makers by kicking-off your holiday shopping spree with locally made goods and services.
We get it-there is a BIG game that day, but whether you are wearing Scarlet & Gray or Maize & Blue we can at least agree that the 419 is home and small businesses make our community thrive. We encourage you to shop small all weekend long and support our local economy throughout the year.
