What’s happening around Wichita for Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Museum Store Sunday? Lots of people like to use the day after Black Friday – when most people think about scoring a great deal on big-ticket holiday gifts – to support friends and neighbors’ businesses by shopping local.

Buy ICT has a bonus gift for those shopping small this weekend. On their Facebook page, they say if you shop both the Bringing it Black Small Business Saturday market and the Women Empowered Small Business Saturday and Sunday market, you can get a pretty coll looking Wichita flag ornament. But it doesn’t say how you redeem the offer, so I guess you just have to ask when you go. And that’s fine – it’s fun to talk to the vendors at markets. 🙂
