With Thanksgiving now behind us and the Christmas shopping season in full swing, the Carroll Chamber of Commerce is emphasizing the importance of supporting local retailers with a fun-filled afternoon tomorrow (Saturday). Small Business Saturday was initially launched in 2010 by American Express to highlight small companies’ incredible role in making the holidays spectacular. In keeping with this tradition, Chamber staff encourages shoppers to save a trip to the city and start checking off their holiday lists by visiting downtown shops and dining at locally-owned restaurants. As a bonus, they are offering free horse-drawn carriage rides from the Chamber Depot from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday afternoon. And don’t forget tonight (Friday) is the annual lighting ceremony at the Chamber Depot starting at 6:30 p.m.
