With Thanksgiving right around the corner, some of the biggest shopping days of the year are approaching. People will be lining up at the front of stores late on Thanksgiving night, ready to purchase the latest gadgets and toys for their loved ones. However, if you're looking to make an impact in your community, shop small and support Small Business Saturday! 

As a student attending SUNY New Paltz, I spend a lot of my time in town on the weekends. On Sundays I love to have brunch, head to the farmers market to pick up fresh produce for the week, and stop by some of the boutiques and shops in town. I love shopping in New Paltz, especially when looking to buy a gift for someone because the stores have so much to offer. I've heard of Small Business Saturday before, but I didn't know much about it and I was looking to see how it  benefits local businesses, so I did some research.
