This Thursday (October 1), Support Local Vendors is hosting a meet and greet at Towne Tavern, beginning at 6 p.m. In an effort to continue to introduce residents to locally owned businesses, SLV is providing a fun-filled night with FREE food and door prizes for all who attend.
This is a great opportunity to meet local business owners and tell them that that you appreciate all they do for our community. You may or may not know that the more you spend your dollars at locally owned businesses, the better for our local economy. This event is also a chance to meet the folks behind Support Local Vendors, which is a local service that provides coupon discounts to the public.
It’s official – our contest (which was sponsored by Support Local Vendors) is over, and we have our winner! We had a total of 34 entries, and as you can see by the graphic on the left (we used Random.org to randomly select the winning comment entry), comment number 11, left by Kathryn, was the winner.
All valid entries were numbered by date/time of entry, and this was the winning comment:

Obviously in this economy, everyone suffers, but it seems that the local Mom ‘n’ Pop shops seem to suffer the most since they aren’t backed by huge corporate dollars. We’ve seen on the news how a variety of local businesses have shut down or come perilously close to shutting down over the past year due to financial difficulties. Well now there is a website dedicated to helping local businesses get the customers they deserve!
