A Message from Roxboro Area Chamber of Commerce President

November 23, 2016

Hello Chamber members and friends, The holiday season is officially moving into high gear this week. We know this Friday, November 25^th & Saturday, November 26^th will be especially busy days as the Christmas shopping ‘bonanza’ begins. We ask you to remember the many businesses in Roxboro and Person County and consider them FIRST for your shopping needs. Your hard earned dollars have a greater impact locally, as you know, than they do shopping outside of Person County or online. Many businesses in our community are participating in Small Business Saturday. This link will take you to a great article on why Small Business Saturday (which follows Black Friday each year) is so important. http://www.forbes.com/sites/mikekappel/2016/11/21/the-big-benefits-of-small-business-saturday/#6613c8365097 We hope this holiday shopping season is a wonderful one for the consumers in our community and an even better one for the businesses that keep our local economy going strong!
