Shop Local!!

Here we are, in the midst of the holiday madness. I have always loved Thanksgiving - a day to spend with family, eat an unreal amount of food, and spend time reflecting on what we are thankful for. It is sad that it has become a stepping stone to Christmas shopping, but it is what it is. Our family has always enjoyed spending time on Friday outside for the #OPTOUTSIDE campaign, and small business Saturday. Guys, SHOP LOCAL!I am all about supporting local businesses - as they make Fort Wayne such a great place to live. I have partnered a few of my favorite small businesses in Fort Wayne for this giveaway. You will need coffee to get through the Holiday Season, so head over to Conjure. After that, head downtown and visit some of the fantastic small businesses. Be sure to visit Saving Grace Vintage. Saving Grace Vintage is one of our favorite places to pick up some really unique pieces - my wife often comes home with another piece of furniture whenever she visits - so guys beware. I am sure you will get hungry while shopping, so stop by Tolon for a fantastic meal. Tolon is Fort Wayne's first farm to table restaurant which uses the best local ingredients for amazing dishes! You can read more about it here. It is a fantastic atmosphere and I promise you it will be a great meal filled with fantastic food, drinks, and conversations. If online shopping is more your vibe, Headwaters Lifestyle Co has a fantastic online shop with some really cool Fort Wayne gear. We just love their neighborhood coffee mugs! **They also have a number of popup locations around Fort Wayne, so be sure to follow them on Facebook to see where they will be next.The winner will receive:

1. $50 Gift Card to Saving Grace Vintage Boutique
2. $20 Gift Card to Conjure Coffee
3. $50 to Tolon
4. Prize Package from Headwaters Lifestyle Co including a 16x20 print, a t-shirt, and some stickers.

Contest ends Friday, November 23rd at 10 pm.
