This season, more than any other, our local businesses need your help. Make your lists and get cozy on the couch or head out to our villages and greens on Black Friday and Small Business Saturday. You won’t find crowds this year. We need our towns to survive through this pandemic, and I know we all can help. Here’s a list of Black Friday/Small Business Saturday deals, both online and in-store. And you’ll also find some of our favorite local online picks. We’ll have even more for you next week, but in the meantime, it’s easy to support your favorite shopkeeps with a phone call. I’m sure they would love to hear from you. I hope you enjoy the one day a year we can stuff ourselves with abandon. Love, Erica
