Each business will draw their own winners.
Other businesses may stay open Saturday and offer late hours, so be sure to check around town at your favorite businesses while you are out shopping.
When people shop locally, it truly makes a difference. Many of our small town brick and mortar businesses were forced to close their doors during the pandemic for months and are trying to just survive and make a living. These same businesses are the many of the ones who support our schools, our stock show kids, and various non profits in our communities. They pay property taxes and collect sales taxes to keep your community and schools going.
It’s a win, win event as Lewis Stroud always says.
Our community has always opened their hearts and pocketbooks to help others in need. We are so fortunate to live in the great place we call Devine.
Don’t miss out on this “Shop at Home MARKDOWN MANIA” event is this Saturday. Enjoy the shopping opportunities it offers, the savings you will find, and register at each one for drawings with your purchase!
Be sure to check on the late night 6-9 pm RED LIGHT SPECIALS and offers.
