James Contes works for IDOT and shared a picture of the library during the snowstorm last week. He noted how the orange emergency lights gave the perfect glow to the falling snow.

Did you know??

January is the slowest month of the year for small businesses. After the holiday rush, local shops and restaurants often face a major slowdown.

That’s why it’s the perfect time to shop local and support the small businesses that make our community unique.

A few stats to keep in mind 👇

Small businesses make up 99.9% of all businesses in the U.S.

For every $100 spent at a local business, approximately $68 stays in the community.

Supporting local businesses helps create jobs and sustain the economy right here in Anna.

So, whether it’s grabbing coffee, dining out, or shopping for something special, every purchase matters this month. Let’s show our local businesses some love this January!
