Hi folks! Tom McManimon here …from StimulusBrand Communications. You know the phrase “it takes a village?  Throughout the coronavirus pandemic and our time of quarantine, social distancing and closed business, it’s important that we keep our local and small businesses in mind. Many have struggled and will continue. I count on many as skilled and talented partners who help drive my business success. And so, I thought I would do my part to highlight them in a series one day at a time.

Over the last 73 days, I have drafted a brief feature on local area businesses and posted to multiple social media channels each day. I know that many have seen these postings and shared. And that’s key —spread the word!  As we now progress out of the mandated quarantines and re-open, it is my hope that we ALL keep these businesses (and other area businesses) in mind for dining, goods and services. While I featured 72, there are many more worth mentioning and turning to for your upcoming needs.

I would like to give a resounding “shout-out” and thanks to all the skilled and caring nurses, doctors, and essential service providers who have delivered above and beyond expectations. You are superstars!  And, let me make a special appeal to visit our area restaurants once again who have experienced complete shut-downs and look to rebound. Your patronage will be highly appreciated and help keep our local economy vital and stron

Its been my pleasure to read about and come to know many of these businesses better while posting daily shout-outs.  Watch for the next effort from StimulusBrand Communications. Stay safe and be well!
