Small Business Saturday - a small business alternative to black Friday sales - is on Saturday, November 24.  It is the time when shoppers can support their local small businesses and get great bargains.  Your participation supports your neighbors and friends, and boosts the local economy.

Many businesses in Belfast are participating, including Belfast Office Supply Services, Katwalk, Chocolate Drop Candy Shop and Dave's Old Fashioned Ice Cream, Archangel Computers, and dozens more of your local favorites.

After all that shopping, you will want a chance to sit and relax, so Rollie's and Delvino's are offering discounts when you show a receipt from a local business.

So why not make a day of it and shop locally.  You could even take in a movie at the Colonial Theater before you head home with all those bargains!
