After a couple of years of enduring end-of-year oddness, 2022 is finally feeling somewhat closer to normal as we pop our heads back out into the world and interact with fellow humans just in time for the holidays.
Although not quite fully behind us, the pesky pandemic appears to be waning, if only to be replaced by uncomfortable inflation and stubborn supply chain issues. But those challenges are perfect reminders that the best way to support our community is to shop local and reconnect with our favorite stores and their owners.
