Local residents are invited to downtown Silver City on Sunday, October 28, 2018, to enjoy the downtown Love Local Celebration. Merchants are offering great deals, drawings, and discounts because they love our local community. The promotion is sponsored by Silver City MainStreet to encourage more local shopping.

Patrick Hoskins, Board President of Silver City MainStreet states, “We have thirty-three businesses that are open every Sunday in downtown Silver City. A number of these will be offering special deals and discounts on Sunday, October 28, 2018. It’s a great day to come downtown and shop the businesses that are open and enjoy the Dia de los Muertos celebration and activities. The Stories from Our Streets walking tour is a fun family activity and booklets can be picked up at the Murray Ryan Visitor Center or many of the downtown merchants.”

The purpose of the Love Local Celebration promotion is to encourage local residents and visitors to come downtown, discover businesses they may not be aware of and shop downtown. Overall, buying local is a chance to support small business owners who take great pride in their work, experience handmade, one-of-a-kind and meaningful gifts, and support our community. 

If you spend $100 at a local business, roughly $68 stays in our local economy. If you spend the same are a large business, only $43 stays in our local economy.

If you have not been downtown recently, this is a great day to shop local. Look for the Love Local posters in the windows of participating merchants.
