 Hi, this is Tim Callison. When you buy locally, you're supporting the local police and fire departments and keeping the parks and playgrounds open. When you support local businesses, it makes our community strong and nourishes the way of life we all enjoy on the North Coast. If there isn't support for our local businesses, which employ your friends and neighbors, it will be tough to build and maintain a strong community. The act of buying locally is not just a catchphrase. It should be a way of life for us on the North Coast. Please consider this when spending your dollar.
