The day after Thanksgiving is Black Friday, when shoppers rush (usually to the big box stores) to get the best deals on big ticket, trendy items. The following day, though, highlights small business - you know the ones: mom and pop shops, small boutiques, independent bookstores, antique malls. 

Saturday, Nov 30 we encourage you to "Shop Small." Spend time (and money) in Downtown Charleston, the Elk City District, Kanawha City, Charleston's East End and dozens of other small businesses in the Charleston area.
