a scouting i WANT to go!!

this is SUCH a fantastic idea from a little town called Charlottesville, Virginia!

this is issued every few months by a local shop owner to advertise fellow local businesses. here is what they are all about:

Definition SCOUT:

Lookout: a person employed to keep watch for some anticipated event

A Boy Scout or Girl Scout

Someone employed to discover and recruit talented persons

Explore, often with the goal of finding something or somebody

Someone who can find paths through unexplored territory

My goal is to promote local business and help to maintain Charlottesville as a unique and interesting place to live.

WE MUST SHOP LOCALLY if we want to keep Charlottesville unique.

I hope to open up the doors to the small artist studios and inside information around town that will inspire you to shop at home. We can make a difference.

Thanks for your help.

-Susie Matheson, your local shopping scout
