Howdy
Remember when I asked you to reply a couple of weeks ago? Well, you did, 112 of you.
I read you all, looked up your town and replied to every single one of you. Because you matter and your town matters! I copied all your replies, edited a few down who wrote a LOT, and pasted them below. I thought you might like to scroll through and see your friends and neighbors.
I'm thankful for all you do for your rural (and not so rural) places.
Keep shaping the future of your town,
Becky
PS - We don't have a Black Friday/Cyber Whatever/Shop Small sale. We have a gift for you instead, and you'll hear about it on December 1.
