In case you missed it, Small Business Saturday has now grown into a thriving celebration of small businesses in the United States. What was once a small marketing initiative by American Express to grab a piece of the holiday pie that is Thanksgiving weekend is now a nationwide event encompassing thousands of Main Streets and small businesses, including our own here in the District!
