It is that time of the year when many stores and the like are trying to get you to come to their establishment and do a bit of Christmas shopping. Friday was Black Friday. It is a time for going to the malls and box stores.
Saturday was a special day as well. It was Shop Small Saturday. This is the day when you are encouraged to do some of your Christmas shopping at the small hometown businesses.
In downtown Dixon, many people braved the colder weather and went to the mom and pop shops. Owner of the Waterfront Gifts and Antiques call the shoppers in Dixon and very loyal customers.
The shop small was not just in the downtown area as business throughout Dixon hosted shoppers. Many did say they had good business, in spite of the colder temperatures.
