Think. Shop. Buy.

o local! It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean cutting off the outside world. It means nurturing locally owned businesses, which use local resources sustainably, employ workers at decent wages and serve primarily local customers. It means becoming more self sufficient and less dependent on imports. Control moves away from big box stores and distant retailers in Ann Arbor and Toledo to Chicago Boulevard and others areas in Tecumseh.

Why shop local?

Shopping local boosts the local economy because more of the money you spend in your local independent business stays in the community then if you shopped at a big-box store or out of town.

Shopping local creates jobs. Small, local businesses are the largest employers nationally. When we support local shops and services, we are supporting the process of creating local jobs.

Local business support community groups. Local businesses are more likely to support local events, schools, charities and sports groups. When you shop at a local business you are in essence supporting your community.

Shopping local supports Tecumsehâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character. Our friendly and authentic small town atmosphere is created by people and businesses that live and operate here. Our distinctive shops and services contribute to our quality of life. Shopping local keeps these businesses here.

community guide on the go view the

Local 5.

Shopping local increases our tax base. When you support and invest your day-to-day dollar in Tecumseh business you are contributing to our tax base, which improves the services we all benefit from. No local business means higher taxes for everyone.

Local businesses invest in Tecumseh. When we support local business we support the future of our community. Businesses owned by Tecumseh area residents are less likely to leave the community and are more invested in our success.

Supporting local business encourages investment. Entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more likely to invest and settle in communities, like Tecumseh, that preserve and support independent and distinctive businesses.

Local business offers choices. Over the long term, successful local businesses are able to supply products based on local needs, interests and demands rather than based on national sales strategies.

Shopping local saves services. Private and public services tend to cluster around shops. As retail merchants disappear, so do services such as hairdressers, banks, restaurants, and other businesses.

10.

Shopping local saves you time and money. By not travelling to out of town shops, you are saving on fuel (money and the environment) and time.

HISTORY Beginnings

Past & Present

A Sign of Respect

Beginnings

e were one of the first. In 1824, Musgrove Evans led a small group of pioneers to the banks of the River Raisin, making Tecumseh one of the first pioneer settlements in the Michigan Territory. The area was ideal for such a venture.

The river provided power, the soil was rich and fertile for farming, and the forests provided timber for the settlement. As the years went on, a carefully planned and bustling village began to emerge. Today, the city of Tecumsehâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic downtown serves as an architectural storybook of Tecumseh, showcasing both the business and art that continue to flourish in this vibrant community.

THE MARKET ON EVANS

he Market on Evans is a vibrant community gathering space located within walking distance to downtown Tecumseh. From May to October, the

Market on Evans is home to Tecumseh’s farmers market, a celebration of the agricultural heritage of the area as well as a celebration of the farmers who continue to work the land. Market visitors will discover everything from produce, herbs, flowers, honey, syrup, eggs, soaps, candles, baked goods, crafts, pork, and beef. On-site food trucks offer everything from breakfast burritos and pancakes to BBQ chicken and sandwiches. Market-goers enjoy musical entertainment as well as special events like art classes, dance performances, and even drop-in fitness classes. In addition to the farmers market, The Market on Evans is also home to several festivals and events throughout the year. The annual Oktoberfest celebration begins with a morning 5K run, and the evening culminates with a German Oktoberfest celebration. Live German music sets the mood for a night of games and fun. Food trucks offer a variety of German foods, and Tecumseh Brewing Company and Black Fire Winery are on hand with special Oktoberfest brews and other drinks. Other events include the Top O’ the Mornin’ Festival, a St. Patrick’s Day celebration which also begins with a 5K race. After the race, the Market transforms into a St. Patrick’s Day celebration. The day features Irish music, food trucks, games, and featured drinks from Black Fire Winery and Tecumseh Brewing Company. During the holiday season, The Market on Evans is Santa’s official Tecumseh home where he keeps regular hours within a sweet little hut, so that children can visit and share their Christmas hopes and dreams. In addition to visiting Santa, visitors will also find Christmas tree sales at the market
