Once a year, our small and local businesses get a day to call their own. We’re pushing for more, but until EVERY day is Small Business Day, we’ll just have to rock Small Business Saturday!
On Saturday, Nov. 25, Downtown Shreveport is going to be a small business smorgasbord of shopping, eating, drinking, and fun. Each of the 15 participating businesses will welcome shoppers with sales, prizes, events, art markets, specials and opportunities to win! At any of the stops-
