A reminder: today is Small Business Saturday, and the Perry Chamber of Commerce hopes residents will take advantage of deals at local stores.

To give Perry residents additional incentive for taking part in Small Business Saturday, the Chamber will be going around to the various downtown businesses to give away free surprises. While the Chamber won’t give away exactly what all the prizes will be, they hint that Perry Bucks could be helpful to shoppers. Additionally, to make shopping a little easier, you can still pick up a free “Shop Small, Shop Local” bag at Betsy Peterson Designs and Raccoon Valley Bike Company. You also may see some Chamber members who just happen to have some bags with them.
