This year, more than ever before, supporting your favorite local store is essential. What has become a tradition now, Small Business Saturday®, is the day after Thanksgiving to encourage people to Shop Small and bring more holiday shopping to small businesses. Avoid the chaos of the BIG national chain stores over America’s most active shopping weekend of the year for just one day, and escape to the rich and cheerful atmosphere of Polson’s vibrant business community. Patronize our thriving and diverse Polson storefronts for a multitude of sales and specials happening Saturday 11/30, between 9 am-5 pm. Our community business owners rely on traditions like these to support their ongoing operations to continue sharing their unique talents with our local residents and visitors alike. Join us for a day of fun with friends and family, and discover the exceptional shopping opportunities that will make this holiday season the most special yet!  If you are a business owner, let us know your specials, and we will promote them on social media.
