Shop local small businesses. It’s a win/win.

There are some who bring a light so great to the world that even after they have gone, the light remains.
Be sure you shop locally on Saturday, Nov. 25 for Shop Small Saturday. The more you shop the more chances you have to win $50 in Lilac Loot. Loot may be used the same as cash in participating businesses.  Keep your receipts dated that day. Put your name and number on the back.  Businesses, be sure you remind your staff about this opportunity. Your local small business wins and so do you.
Thanks to all that have put their Christmas lights up on Basin. Looking forward to seeing more in time for the Home for the Holidays in Basin Nov. 25. (Another not so subtle hint)
Thank you Cowboy Realty/Bob Bole and Hallcroft Manor for your chamber membership renewal.
