* On Dec. 28, 1900, Mrs. Lulu Jenkins, of Chicago, was paid $4,000 in compensation for the lynching of her husband in Ripley County, Indiana. Mr. Jenkins allegedly was involved in the theft of a horse and ended up the victim of a furious mob. Two other men were killed as well. * On Dec. 31, 1943, Henry John Deutschendorf, better known to us today as singer-songwriter, actor John Denver, was born. In a four-decade career before his untimely death in an airplane crash, he won worldwide affection and acclaim not just for his music but for his dedication to humanitarian and environmental causes. * On Jan. 1, 1962, the U.S. Navy SEALs unit was created. Their elite members (only about 20% actually make it that far) are trained to operate in urban, desert and jungle locations and to withstand torture. * On Dec. 26, 1966, the first Kwanzaa celebrations began in America, with the holiday continuing until Jan. 1. Created by activist, author and professor of Africana studies

Welcome! elcome!

Dr. Maulana Karenga, the annual event, which affirms African family and social values, was originally intended to replace Christmas for Africans. * On Dec. 30, 1984, speleologists (cave studiers/explorers) in the Mexican state of Oaxaca landed upon what was then thought to possibly be the world’s deepest cave after going through a maze of underground tunnels in the jungle. * On Dec. 27, 1994, Rwanda’s president died in a plane crash and the African country was plunged into a genocidal blood bath in which the Hutu majority slaughtered the Tutsis, leaving half a million dead. A distraught missionary exclaimed of the carnage: “There are no devils left in hell. They are all in Rwanda.”

TO HELP PROTECT THE PLANET

TO GET SUPERB SERVICE

TO ENJOY DELICIOUS FOOD

Buying local is the eco-friendly way to shop for the holidays. When you opt for items produced and sold nearby, you help reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions created when goods are shipped. The need for excess packaging is also eliminated.

This Christmas, help protect the environment by buying locally crafted presents, decorations, food and more.

If you want personalized recommendations, information about specific items or gift ideas for someone with an unusual interest, your local merchants can help. These people typically have a passion for the goods and services they offer. Consequently, they’re committed to providing exceptional customer service.

Plus, you can count on them for streamlined after-sale service.

When it comes to making a great meal, nothing beats local foods.

Keep it close to home by choosing breads, cheeses, wines, meats and vegetables produced in your region.

Whether you’re making an elaborate feast or preparing a simple dish, put fresh, local ingredients on the menu. Your holiday guests will thank you, and so will your tastebuds.

TO MAKE PLEASANT DISCOVERIES

TO ENERGIZE YOUR COMMUNITY

TO FREE UP MORE TIME

How well do you know your region?

If you explore what your community has to offer, you’ll likely stumble on treasures you never knew were there.

Imagine discovering handcrafted jewelry, artisanal chocolates or a pleasant eatery to spend the afternoon—right in your own backyard!

Who knows, you may even find a great park, gallery, gym or other new venue to haunt.

Over the holidays, many communities host an assortment of Christmas events and activities. You’ll likely be able to enjoy attending a tree lighting, nativity play, holiday market or Christmas concert. Participating in these types of events is a great way to support your local organizations and businesses. It’s how you help create a vibrant local culture.

If you visit the shops, restaurants, concert halls and museums that are close to home rather than heading out of town, you can save time in your busy schedule. With the extra minutes or hours you gain, you may be able to fit in another activity or simply find more time to relax and unwind.

TO FIND UNIQUE GIFTS

TO REDUCE STRESS

TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY

Are you looking for the perfect present?

Plus, making your Christmas purchases locally will eliminate the hassle of delivery delays.

A booming local economy helps create a thriving community. You can do your part to sustain your region simply by buying local.

TO SAVE MONEY

TO PROCURE QUALITY PRODUCTS

TO CREATE A SENSE OF BELONGING

Locally crafted goods tend to be better made than mass-produced items manufactured overseas. Consequently, they’re likely to be more durable.

If you keep these items for a long time, you’ll save in the long term.

Plus, the working conditions for the people producing the goods are more likely to be fair.

If you want to call your region home, it’s not enough to simply live there.

You must get to know your area, find spots you love to frequent and establish a routine. To engage with your community and feel connected to your corner of the world, participate in local events and support your region’s businesses.

Frequenting the businesses in your area is a great way to save on gas and other driving-related expenses.

This is especially the case if you can walk to your destination.

You won’t even have to pay for parking.

Depending on how often you tend to make these outings, you could see significant savings.
