” .. .. This Sunday we are having a silent auction at Olde World Bagel to support a local business and friend that is at the brink of having to close his and his father’s bagel shop. There are going to be many amazing items auctioned at this event: including paintings and art from Douglas Rouse, Lance Green and Joseph Fernandez to yoga and sculptures, massage, antiques and more. Come and see what community really means.
The beauty and importance of locally owned businesses is the ability to have an array of creative, unique, and diverse places to make this a city with character, choice and freedom. Localizing our economy ensures that money is reinvested into our city and that our community will have a bright and colorful future. Support local businesses and the people that make up the community that you live. ”
