Fishers Celebrates Small Business Saturday

Fishers City Hall featured music and refreshments for busy shoppers downtown

From the tradition of Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, being a major shopping day in America, several traditions have emerged.  Small Business Saturday is now featured on the day after Black Friday, highlighting  small businesses located in local communities.

Fishers has been part of the Small Business Saturday game for several years, but the city upped the ante on this year’s Small Business Saturday.  It began Saturday morning with special deals for early arrivals the the winter Farmers Market at Holland Park in the morning.

After noon, the action moved to City Hall, where local artists had their work on display and for sale.  Local musicians were showing their talents courtesy of Fishers Music Works.  There were refreshments, including hot chocolate and cookies on hand for City Hall visitors.

Here are a few pictures I snapped while walking around town for Small Business Saturday:
