Small Business Saturday: Indies First

Thankfully we’re sort of moving past the nutty trend of retailers hustling to get us in their doors before the mashed potatoes are even cold (although many stores are still staying open on Turkey Day). Really though, Small Business Saturday is the new Black Friday, and you might discover that Main Street is a better place than the mall to find original, unique gifts for your loved ones. While there are tons of local businesses to patronize around the Inland Northwest this weekend, Auntie’s goes big for its annual Indies First event. Hosting 11 local authors working in the store as honorary booksellers throughout the day, that means you can get a copy personally signed by the author who penned it. These literary locals also suggest their favorite books if you’re looking to load up your own library.

Sat, Nov. 26, from 9 am-9 pm • Auntie’s Bookstore • 402 W. Main • bit.ly/2fNAgEa • 838-0206
