This is a big ask: But I know you will immediately understand and respond in a manner that proves our customers are simply the BEST IN THE WORLD!

Behind the scenes right now, I know of several business owners who had all their chips on the table for a big Black Friday / Small Business Saturday burst of revenues. And then: WINTER arrives in her early, savage glory and sets a one-day record for November snowfall totals.

Rent is due Monday, so is the payroll and the other assorted bills. Some will run out of money before next weekend and they depend on US to show support, care and INTENTION.

Here’s my ask: Use INTENTION this next week, and in the next 7 days, check each of these 3 boxes on your list:

1) Patronize a locally owned restaurant, bakery or coffee shop or other food service entity.
2) Visit and purchase from a local gift shop, retail store or other type of crafted merchandise.
3) Use or schedule a future event from a professional service that is also locally owned.

Please share this post if you agree. I will draw a free meal for 4 from the list of everyone who shares this post and announce the winner a week from today.

Even better, post your visits on Facebook, tag and support the local business that you did support and encourage others to do the same.

We. Got. This!!

with us in ❤ of Czech Village this Saturday with a warm kolache & horse drawn wagon ride Czech Village Association

📣Today at our City Council meeting, we issued a special proclamation declaring every Saturday in December Shop Small Saturday in Cedar Rapids! 🎉🛍️

A huge thank-you to the small business owners who pulled themselves away from their busy day to accept the proclamation. Your dedication and hustle are the heartbeat of our community.

Now the real work begins...weekends!

Let’s show up for the shops and restaurants that give Cedar Rapids its color, character, and charm.

When you shop local this month, please share your photos 1.) either on my website 2.) or directly with your favorite shop owners.

Let’s all be walking billboards for the businesses we love most.

Together, we invest in the city we deserve. 💛
