HISTORIC TRIANGLE — Williamsburg and Yorktown-area residents are invited to kick off their holiday shopping during Small Business Saturday, set for Nov. 29.
Small Business Saturday was created in 2010 by American Express, and the goal is to remind people to shop and support local businesses, especially during the holiday shopping season. It is observed in all 50 states, and the Senate passed a resolution recognizing it in 2011.
