12 december1 2016 This Holiday Season Don’t Forget to Shop Local Every year at this time, holiday shoppers are reminded to sup- port their local merchants and do at least some of their holiday shop- ping a local stores. This is your annual reminder! When you shop local, you support your friends and neighbors and keep more money in the local economy. This year “Catch the Holiday Spirit” is a program that encour- ages shoppers to spend their money at Columbia County businesses and earn a chance to win $50 gift cards by collecting stamps at partici- pating businesses for each $10 they spend, or for each transaction at fi nancial institutions. In Vernonia, participating businesses are: Crea- tures Pet Shop, Mariolino’s Pizza and Grill, Vernonia Florist, Vernonia Hardware & Liquor Store, and Wauna Credit Union. In Vernonia, there are lots of businesses where you can shop to purchase gifts, decorations, and stocking stuffers for the holidays. Please consider spending your holiday dollars locally and supporting local merchants. Out on a Limb – This beautiful gift shop is fi lled with holiday cheer, especially if you like to decorate or are looking for a gift for your host or hostess at a holiday party.
