As some of you know, the NDDC has been doing the “Be Local” ads for several years. This year, we’re partnering with the Chamber in what is loosely called the “Be Local…Buy Local” campaign.

There are so many other possibilities, but time is getting short. So I thought I’d just mention a few additional shops with clever and good things for the naughty and nice people on your gift list. (more…)
