Support Small Businesses in Sumner, a message from Mayor Hayden:

It's time for some retail therapy, Sumner! This weekend kicks off the holiday shopping season with Hometown Holidays on Saturday. I know, I know: it's not even Thanksgiving yet. But you try to be a small retailer keeping up with the big box stores who had Santa displays while it was still 90 degrees outside.

It's not easy being an independent retailer. The hours are long and you're competing with warehouse deals and 24/7online shopping. Here are some reasons to ditch the bunny slippers and get out to shop Sumner.

1. It's fun. With a festive atmosphere, coffee, other beverages and lunch, it's a memorable, Instagramable experience that's equally fun whether you're by yourself or with a crowd.
2. It supports your friends and neighbors. C'mon we've all seen our favorite store owners after work, picking up milk at Fred Meyer like the rest of us. The money you invest here stays here rather than going to...I don't know where with international chains.
3. We don't track your browsing history. Nothing is more awkward than seeing what your family member bought for you because 900 ads for it pop up no matter where you go online.
4. It's unique. From books to candles to clothing, you can find it all downtown. If you're thinking it's all antiques, you haven't been here in a while, although there still are antiques too. And if you can't find the exact right gift, there's also gift cards to independent spas, boutiques and restaurants.
5. It makes Sumner...Sumner. We've had our Main Street full of stores for over 100 years. But Main Street only stays "alive" with your support.

And, of course, on top of the "everyday" struggles, our stores have had to deal with impacts from utility construction and the fire. We're working with Sumner Main Street Association to get a list for how to support your favorite stores directly impacted by fire, but in the meantime, please shop all of them because they're all part of what makes Sumner special.

-Mayor Kathy Hayden
