THANK YOU FROM LOCAL FIRST
Sponsors
Local First appreciates our sponsors helping us continue to support small, independent businesses through one of the busiest shopping seasons.
Now more than ever, it is important to look local for holiday gifts and goodies. Ditching national chains and online giants is an investment in your community. When residents support local businesses they create jobs, help the environment and connect with other people who call this region home. This leads to a more diverse, healthy economy and a connected community.
The end of the year presents an important time to boost the bottom line for every restaurant and retailer, and this year’s Shop Local for the Holidays campaign is an effort to engage with local customers and attract attention to local products and holiday sales throughout December. For a local shopping guide, updated event listings and more information about Durango Business Improvement District’s Holiday Rewards Program, visit www.local-first.org/ local-for-the-holidays/.
We know it takes innovative collaboration to ensure success, and we extend our gratitude to our members and local business owners for providing feedback and adapting with us these last two years.
Local First wishes a safe and happy holiday season to all. While Local First will not host its annual Noel Night, we are grateful to our sponsors for supporting efforts to engage the community in safe holiday shopping this season. Each of you has a part in helping dollars circulate locally year after year. For that, we can’t thank you enough.

The Code of the West
Live each day with courage. Take pride in your work.
Always finish what you start. Do what has to be done. Be tough, be fair. When you make a promise, keep it. Ride for the brand. Talk less and say more. Remember that some things aren 't for sale.
Know where to draw the line.
