Letter: Help keep small businesses alive
To the Editor:
Being one of the Christmas Cash winners, I want to thank business owners and volunteers for their contributions to make this event a success.
Having a business myself (five miles south of Marion), I would like to support these programs, but since our customers are primarily 80 percent "out of town" business, I chose not to participate in this event. I do belong to the Marion Chamber of Commerce and try to support as many events and charities as possible.
I would like to challenge the people of Marion to support all of their hometown businesses and see for themselves what Marion truly has to offer.
Let's keep small businesses alive so we can keep Marion "the best place I've seen."
