OC Chamber of Commerce reminds Ohio County to shop local

In Local, News by OC Monitor Staff

HARTFORD, Ky. — As Black Friday signals the beginning of the Christmas shopping season, the Ohio County Chamber of Commerce wants to remind you to shop local during Small Business Saturday.

The OC Chamber realizes Christmas shopping is going to be weird this year and many will do most of their shopping online rather than visiting stores. However, instead of boosting Amazon’s profits, you could ask friends and family for a voucher from a local business this Saturday and beyond this Christmas.

Local businesses are struggling this year and buying and giving vouchers and gift certificates is the perfect way to help your local businesses. Bookshops, restaurants, salons, cinemas, craft stores, arts venues, whatever you’re into, you can find at local businesses.

If you help them out this year, hopefully those businesses will be around to serve you next year.

Ohio County’s local retail businesses need your support now more than ever. We’re all in this together.

Contact these local businesses for gift ideas this Christmas.

Don’t forget about our local restaurants. You can get vouchers to give as gifts or just get an order to go. Every little bit helps our local restaurants. Be sure to eat out often by ordering to go or delivery where available.
