But, along with the fun events that are offered, probably the most important thing you can do to support Chillicothe is to utilize all of our local shopping and services. It might be easier to shop online and may feel like you are getting a good deal, but what if it isn’t the good deal in the long run? Everyone wants to find the best deal out there, but we need to remember that online purchases don’t help grow our local economy. It’s the local businesses that help support our local events, help our non-profit organizations, and the taxes they collect support our city’s efforts to make our lives comfortable.

   

So, next time you find yourself driving past the local shops, stop in and look around, you might find just what you’re looking for. Let’s keep our small businesses thriving so our local economy stays strong.
