Small Business Saturday, also Nov. 29, was an opportunity to for local merchants to bring people into their shops.
“It’s a great opportunity to see people from our community come out and support us, and we get to see the same faces each year and really enjoy it,” said Caitlin Weaver, owner of the Bungalow on 2nd.
She said people were shopping for a combination of gift and personal items, and bargains at their sidewalk sale.
Elizabeth McCarthy and her crew are seasoned Second Street shoppers, not only on Small Business Saturday.
“The shops are fabulous – a great assortment, great prices,” McCarthy said. “We come every couple of months. We love the children’s shop, love to go into the jeweler and some of the women’s boutiques. There’s already good food too.”
