While shoppers were out at many of the larger chain stores yesterday to start the shopping season, today will focus more on local businesses.
In Downtown Indiana, Small Business Saturday will be a part of today’s “It’s A Wonderful Life Festival” presented by First Commonwealth Bank. At IRMC Park, there will be various activities including marshmallow roasts, visits with Santa, face painting and ornament making, and a chance to win prizes from the Indiana Franklin Masonic Lodge.
As a special promotion, Downtown Indiana is giving out Downtown Dollars once again. Sam Kenly with Downtown Indiana calls the long-running promotion a great success.
For every $10 spent at participating businesses, $1 in “Downtown Dollars” will be given back to the customer, and those can be used like gift certificates at any of the participating businesses.
