Tuesday, November 5, 2024 at 11:02 AM

Small Business Season is underway through Dec. 31, and the Fulton County Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Shop Small campaign throughout Fulton County from Nov. 30 to Dec. 15, encouraging community members to support local businesses. Small businesses participation is sought for its Shop Small Passport Program.

The Fulton County Chamber of Commerce is encouraging community members to support local business on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 30, and the two weeks following by hosting a Shop Small Passport Program as a way to have fun and support the local economy.

The chamber is currently looking for small businesses to participate in the program. Any Fulton County small business with a storefront is eligible to participate. Chamber membership is not required.

Participating businesses will be included in the printed passports, which will be distributed to every Fulton County resident. They also will receive recognition on the event website and accompanying Facebook group. Participating businesses also will receive Small Business Season marketing materials and, of course, increased traffic and awareness.

Those who own a small business in Fulton County and would like to participate are encouraged to register here by Thursday, Nov. 14.

For more information, contact Chamber Executive Director Jillian Smith or Executive Assistant Kellie Scobie at 574-224-2666 or assistant@fultoncountychamber.com.
