The holiday season is officially upon us in a week. People are already making Christmas wish-lists and thinking of gifts for family and friends. So, how many of the items on your list will be purchased from a local business? And, why is that even important?
Join us at the Waterfront Bar and Grill inside the Lansing City Market for our Speaker Series on Buying Local.
You will hear from a local business owner who went from being a vendor at the City Market to having his own storefront, and how support from the Lansing community helped him progress.
You will also hear from those who know firsthand what an impact buying local has on the economy of our city, and even our state.
The event starts at 6:00 p.m. with sign in at 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, November 17, at the Waterfront Bar and Grill, located at 325 City Market
Drive in
Downtown Lansing.
From
6:15 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., we will delve into the minds of local pioneers
who have already made strides towards accomplishing this goal. Q &
