SHOP LOCAL is a campaign sponsored by the Chamber to get everyone thinking of shopping local, from the individual consumer to large manufactures to the school system – we want everyone to SHOP LOCAL.
Why SHOP LOCAL is a good thing...

- When you shop locally owned businesses, your money is recirculated over and over and creates up to 75% MORE TAX REVENUE to your community and state.
- Local shopping increases local sales tax, which WILL BRING NEW BUSINESS to our area.
