As we inch closer to Small Business Saturday – Nov. 30 this year – we need your help to highlight your favorite local shops, stores, organizations, activities and restaurants you visit as you cross off your holiday shopping lists in the Wisconsin Rapids area.

Do you have children on your shopping list? Where’s your first local stop?

Do you have an athlete or a sports fan to shop for? Which shops do you aim for?

Is there an avid reader? A collector? A musician? A history buff? A pet parent? A foodie? A connoisseur? Where are your favorite local places to shop for your favorite people?

Please share your go-to local places with me at cshuda@gannett.com, and include the business, what you love about it, what type of goods you find there, as well as your full name and municipality where you live. Please send your recommendations to me by Nov. 15. I will be collecting all of your suggestions for a local shopping guide for the Wisconsin Rapids area. Thank you for sharing!
