Local businesses to observe event


Letcher County businesses will observe National Shop Small Business Day on Saturday with “An Old Fashioned Christmas.”

“It’s for people to shop local and give small businesses some love,” Letcher County Tourism Director Clay Christian said.

The day will take advantage of the post-Thanksgiving shopping blitz, which begins on “Black Friday.”

Stores that had pushed one-day sales on the Friday after Thanksgiving have begun to spread out the sales over days or weeks to avoid large crowds that have been blamed for sometimes violent shopping frenzies. Stores further spread out the shopping days last year due to COVID-19.
