This Shop Small Saturday let’s show our love for the incredible small businesses that make Tuolumne County special!
When you shop small, you’re not just making a purchase – you’re making a difference. Every dollar spent supports local families, creates jobs, and strengthens our community.
Beyond wonderful, unique gifts small shops have to offer, consider gift cards for loved ones' favorite restaurants or activities. Plus, there are several craft artisan fairs happening where you might just find something you hadn't thought of. Tuolumne County is filled with hidden treasures. Your support helps these businesses thrive, keeping the County vibrant and one-of-a-kind! ✨
So, this Saturday, and any day of the week, head out to explore, shop, and dine locally. Let’s keep our community strong and celebrate the hardworking people behind our small businesses. 🛍
