This Saturday is Small Business Saturday, a day for appreciating our local businesses and for local businesses to appreciate their customers and supporters.
An initiative of American Express co-sponsored with the Small Business Administration, SBS started 15 years ago as a counterpoint to the commercial craziness of Black Friday. We think Hardwick does a pretty good job of living local throughout the year, but hey, more appreciation can't hurt.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody.
