A great example of the work local business owners put back into the community is the RAGBRAI event, with hundreds of volunteers But, RAGBRAI was just one event; there are events and activities in our area every week, with something for everyone, many of which tap into the efforts of our local businesses. There are many large cities that have boarded up store fronts and deserted downtowns We are blessed to have both Mason City and Clear Lake, setting the standards in economic development and focusing on growing our cities It is our responsibility to make sure that our communities grow; the best way to do that is to SHOP LOCAL. Put your money back into the communities in which we work and live, and share your positive experiences. This publication is dedicated to just that. Within this section, look for the Keep It Local Logo scattered throughout. Count the logos and send in or go to www.globegaz ette.com/keepitlocal22 to register your total. All of the correct answers will be put into a drawing for one of two $250 gift certificates to local businesses Thank you for supporting our local businesses and let’s KEEP IT LOCAL together I appreciate the opportunity to serve you, Janet Johnson Publisher Janet Johnson Globe Gazette Publisher

Winners will be notified by email or phone. If a winner is unreachable, or if that winner is unavailable for prize fulfillment, an alternate winner will be selected. If an eligible winner cannot be found for the prize, that prize will riot be awarded.
The past three years have been a challenge for small businesses everywhere, to say the least. However, through it all, our locally owned businesses have persevered. They have been through the pandemic, employee shortages, and now inflation.
As a display of their resilience business owners find a way to get their stores open to serve you every week. Sometimes that means they are working from open to close, covering open shifts, stocking shelves or whatever needs to be done, and most of the time, with smiles on their faces These business leaders still find time to volunteer and give back on a regular basis. We are so lucky to have such a vibrant local business community
