BCS - Buy it Local

DID YOU KNOW... that when you buy from a big-box store, $14 of $100 comes stays in our community.

BUT, if you buy from a locally-owned business, $45 of $100 stays in our community. That's three times the amount!

Even better, if you buy direct from a farmer of craftsman, $62 of $100 stays in the community!

DID YOU KNOW... that when you eat at an average restaurant, $31 out of $100 stays in the community.

BUT, if you dine at a locally-owned restaurant, $79 out of $100 stays in the community!

What a better opportunity to support our local community than to buy locally, from friends and neighbors we know and trust!
