November 30 - The 4th Annual Saluda Small Business Saturday. This year's event, falls between black Friday and cyber Monday on Thanksgiving weekend. Created in 2009 to recognize small businesses as the heart of the American economy, Small Business Saturday has become a boon to independent retailers. Last year over 100 million consumers came together in cities across the country to "shop small" and celebrate all that small local businesses do for their communities.
Saluda NC perfectly represents "small town USA" with a Main Street comprised entirely of small independent businesses. "Just like good wine reflects the flavor of the grapes in the region where they are grown, local small businesses reflect the beauty and character of their communities. By supporting our individual entrepreneurs, we maintain and enhance the beauty and unique characteristics of our community and our quality of life. When we choose to buy our food from regional farmers and support local independent businesses over corporate conglomerates we contribute to the health of our community, and our world" said local art gallery owner Shelley DeKay of Heartwood Gallery.
Saluda's century-old buildings are now home to art studios and craft galleries, gift shops, wine shops, baked goods, restaurants and general merchandise. Whether you spend the day or the entire weekend you will refresh and renew in the comfort of the small town pleasures still alive - and well - and living in Saluda NC.
