VW independent/submitted information

The Van Wert Area Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Van Wert are asking Van Wert County residents to avoid the crowds at the big box stores on Black Friday and show the importance of shopping locally by supporting small, independently owned businesses in Van Wert during its Small Business Saturday shopping event.

“We are teaming with Main Street Van Wert to offer everyone the best Small Business Saturday experience ever,” said Chamber President/CEO Mark Verville.

Verville noted that people can pick up Small Business Saturday passports at any participating store, get them stamped, and turn them in to the Main Street Van Wert office, 136 E. Main St. in Van Wert, by Monday evening. Prizes will be drawn Tuesday, December 3.
