On Saturday, November 25th, residents are encouraged to #shopsmall on Small Business Saturday! At WSBA, we know how important it is to bring more holiday shopping to our local business community. Many businesses in town will be offering specials that day and all weekend long! Visit our social media for a list of promotions and participating businesses.
Purchasing Whiz-Bucks from the WSBA is also a great way to support our local businesses. When you purchase Whiz-Bucks in $10.00 increments we know that 100% of that money is going back to our community. Whiz-Bucks make great gifts for teachers, bosses, friends, neighbors, everyone!
Buy them now at the Western Springs Village Hall! If you are a business and want more information on accepting Whiz-Bucks, please contact Melissa at whizba@westernspringsbusiness.com.
