Podcasts about Small Business Saturday

Welcome to the Holiday Edition of Issaquah Buzz! In this episode, Autumn and Alexis dive into the latest business news, holiday events, and local shopping highlights happening around Issaquah.

Thanksgiving is coming, so here's a food show, and a family Thanksgiving side recipe, and "shop local" holiday advice!  "Wild Food"? That's right, this is the FORAGING episode! I interviewed two foragers, both friends of mine here in Penns Valley: forester Andrea Ferich and my friend and pinochle partner, John Dubosky. They'll tell you about how to find and harvest wild mushrooms, we talk a little about paw paws, and Andrea talks about ginseng and some cool stuff she's doing with hickory nuts, and I finally get to talk to someone about teaberry! I'll tell you about our family fave Thanksgiving side dish, scalloped oysters, and the supply crisis that almost ended it. The next episode is dropping Saturday after Thanksgiving, which is Small Business Saturday, so I've got a bunch of central Pennsylvania small shopping suggestions for you. And...there will be a bunch more in the show notes on the new website! That's SeenThroughAGlass.com! Huge thanks to my daughter Nora Bryson for building the site, with a merch store, a blog, Corgi pix, and more to come. Finally, STAG has a home!  What I'm Drinking Today is a winter classic from way back, Samuel Smith Winter Welcome, a beautifully malty mouthful that soothes my weary soul at this time of year.  The Smack Dab In The Centre segment is about grooving to live music at some great drinking spots (you know, multitasking). I'll tell you about two American Whiskey Master Class signing events in central PA in December, and remember, a signed copy is a great holiday gift for your whiskey-loving friends that you can now buy at the new website! Next episode will be a Mifflinburg profile that's also our first holiday episode. Get ready! See you in two weeks (and two days)! Until then? TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE PODCAST!

As the holiday season approaches, Page County residents eagerly anticipate the 10th annual Chamber Holiday Festival, a beloved event that has grown from a modest community open house into a vibrant celebration. In this episode of "The Valley Today," host Janet Michael talks with Gina Hilliard, president of the Luray-Page Chamber of Commerce, to discuss the festival's evolution and the many ways it brings the community together. From Humble Beginnings to a Holiday Extravaganza Initially, the festival offered little more than photos with Santa and a few cookies at the Chamber's visitor center. However, over the past decade, it has blossomed into a large-scale event that now features a wide array of activities. Gina enthusiastically describes how families return year after year, making the festival a cherished part of their holiday traditions. The event, held at the historic train station in Luray, now includes themed photo booths—this year's "Polar Express" train motif promises to delight children and adults alike. A Feast for the Senses Attendees can look forward to festive treats such as cookies, popcorn, hot cocoa, and holiday punch, all provided free of charge. Fire pits for s'mores, live holiday music, and performances by local choirs and schools add to the magical atmosphere. Children can participate in Santa's workshop, crafting ornaments and cards to take home, while families enjoy the bustling holiday market filled with unique gifts, homemade treats, and stocking stuffers. Community Collaboration and Giving Back The festival's success relies on the support of local businesses, volunteers, and sponsors. Gina emphasizes the importance of community involvement, inviting businesses to sponsor various aspects of the event—from the kids' craft area to the hot chocolate stand. Volunteers, often employees of sponsoring companies, help ensure the festival runs smoothly, reinforcing the spirit of giving that defines the season. Beyond the Festival: A Season of Local Engagement Transitioning from the festival, Janet and Gina highlight the countywide "shop small" promotion, which encourages residents to support local businesses not just on Small Business Saturday, but throughout the entire holiday season. Shoppers can submit receipts from local stores and restaurants for a chance to win generous shopping sprees, with prizes funded by community sponsors. This initiative, Gina notes, extends to all three towns in Page County—Luray, Stanley, and Shenandoah—ensuring that the benefits of shopping local are felt across the region. A Calendar Full of Holiday Cheer In addition to the festival and shopping promotion, the Chamber organizes a variety of events to keep the community engaged. From business networking socials to educational seminars, there is no shortage of opportunities for residents to connect and celebrate. Notably, the Chamber's partnership with local organizations and businesses ensures that these events remain accessible and inclusive. Staying Connected For those seeking more information, Gina directs listeners to the Chamber's website and social media pages, where event details and updates are readily available. She encourages anyone interested in volunteering or sponsoring to reach out, underscoring the Chamber's commitment to fostering a strong, supportive community. Conclusion: A Season to Remember Ultimately, the Chamber Holiday Festival and its companion events exemplify the warmth and togetherness that define Page County during the holidays. As Gina and Janet's conversation reveals, these traditions not only create lasting memories for families but also strengthen the bonds that make the community thrive year after year.

Have you felt it too? Sales aren't hitting like they used to, even when your offer is good and your content should be working. That's because buyer behavior has changed — again. People aren't just scrolling, seeing your post, and buying. They're skeptical, cautious, and craving real connection before they trust anyone with their money.In this episode, I'm breaking down the two types of posts your business needs right now if you want your Black Friday (or Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, etc.) sale to actually convert. These posts build the trust and connection your audience needs before you start selling — so when your offer drops, they're already primed to buy. If you've been wondering why your content isn't landing like it used to, this will show you exactly what's missing.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Grab the Holiday Helper Content Plan → www.sydneyobrien.com/holiday-helper-content-planFollow me on Instagram → @sydneyobrien.coSend me your connection or trust post, I'd love to see what you come up with

Nikki & Brie are in the thick of it. Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday…there's a lot going on and Christmas isn't even here yet! The Twins had plans to spend Thanksgiving together, but some unexpected events created opportunities for Nikki and Brie to celebrate the holiday in new ways. Then the sisters turned their attention to taking advantage of big deals on Black Friday and getting the most bang for their buck, but it's a Tale of Two Sisters because one of them did all of her shopping online while the other took to the streets and covered all of her Christmas bases in person.  Upon Birdie & Buddy's request, Brie has brought an Elf on the Shelf into her house. But it's not something that Nikki's prepared to do for Matteo just yet. Matteo is turning into quite the artist and his latest muse is Charlie Brown, Nikki will explain.  During the break, Brie took the kids to see Wicked and can't stop talking about it; Nikki wonders if she will miss out on a huge cultural touchstone involving flying monkeys and incredible songs. Brie also discovered a new way to keep Birdie and Buddy from trying to steal her snacks at the movies.

There's one month left, which means you can still end the year as you wish. One is intent on not trying to overdo it this holiday season, the other is looking forward to creating balance and laying the groundwork for a better 2025.  Nikki closes the episode out with TWO choices for Inspiration & Affirmation.
