There will be a variety of events planned to recognize customer appreciation, great deals, and charity giving that includes some businesses donating a percentage of sales to Spontaneous Celebrations.

It's important to support our local independent businesses that keeps money locally by supporting local jobs, taxes, and other community-building investments.
