COME SHOP LOCALLY THIS HOLIDAY SATURDAY, November 30th from 10-4pm
Join Us for the 12th Annual Shop Small Crawl: A Celebration of Local Community
Welcome to the heartwarming tradition that is the 12th Annual Shop Small Crawl in St. Joseph, Minnesota! We are thrilled to invite you to an unforgettable day of celebrating the spirit of small businesses, local entrepreneurs, and artists in our wonderful town.
At this event, we come together as a community with a shared mission - to foster partnerships, support local businesses, and create a sustainable, intentional approach to holiday shopping. The Shop Small Crawl is not just a day; it's a symbol of the unity that makes our town a true home.
What is Shop Small Crawl?
Shop Small Crawl is an annual gathering that I started 12 years ago with a simple idea: to give a voice to our local businesses, entrepreneurs, and artists. This day is dedicated to showcasing the incredible talent and products our community has to offer. It's about recognizing the unique, the handmade, and the genuine. Grab your SSC PUNCHCARD at any participating business and gather your punches, then fill out the info and turn in your card to be entered to WIN an epic gift basket made up of goodies from all participating artists and businesses!
Why Does This Event Mean So Much?
Shop Small Crawl is more than just a shopping experience; it's a declaration of our commitment to a thriving, sustainable community. We believe in the power of coming together, in creating opportunities for our neighbors, and in shaping the future we want for St. Joseph.
This event is a testament to our dedication to:
Supporting Local Businesses: By choosing to shop small, we help our neighbors pursue their dreams and contribute to our town's economy. Every purchase you make at a local business is an investment in your community.
Fostering Entrepreneurship: We celebrate the innovators, the risk-takers, and the dreamers who have chosen to call Joetown home. Shop Small Crawl is their stage to shine.
Nurturing Local Artistry: Artisans and artists breathe life into our town's culture. By supporting them, we preserve the soul of our community and ensure that creativity thrives.
Building Sustainable Partnerships: Shop Small Crawl is an embodiment of the partnerships we've forged and nurtured over the years. It's a day of connection, collaboration, and collective growth.
