BLANCO– On November 30, Real Ale Brewing Co. will host a Holiday Cheers Christmas Market in partnership with 15 local vendors.
From 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. the brewery will become a Holiday Shopping destination, all while supporting local artisans. It’s the most wonderful time for a (independent, craft) beer!
The Holiday Market will coincide with Small Business Saturday.
In 2011, the US Senate unanimously passed a resolution in support of Small Business Saturday, and all 50 states participated. Since then, the Saturday after Thanksgiving has become a shopping hallmark for American families across the country, and with good reason.
Locally, 67 cents out of each dollar spent at a small business stays in the community, according to a 2018 Small Business Impact study.
