Photos from Shop Small Every Day Campaign

Mount Vernon-Lisbon Community Development Group board members and volunteers have been out and about the month of December handing Community Cash gift certificates to MV-L shoppers caught in the act of shopping local.

Here are a few of those photos:

Board member Mary Evans caught Casey Meyer at Elite Fitness in Lisbon; and Allison Schnoor and her daughters shopping local at Gary’s Foods. Both groups won a $25 Community Cash and a T-shirt for continuing to Shop Local Every Day. Thanks Casey Meyer and Schnoor family!
