Most of you already know about "Small Business" Saturday, the day after Black Friday when consumers make a concerted effort to buy from local small businesses as opposed to massive national retail chains. Well, I propose we take it a step further. Let's make it a "Green" Saturday. Let's buy handmade items from local artists and artisans. Let's buy items made from recycled materials, and those with minimal packaging. Let's give a gift back to the earth this holiday season by reducing wasted resources.
The Appleton Winter Farmer's Market is located inside the City Center on College Avenue, and will be open Saturday November 24 from 8am to 12:30pm. The Winter Market has expanded this year to include many new vendors. From handmade soaps, to hand knit hats, to locally grown produce, you'll surely find what you're looking for when you make it a "Green Saturday".
