Plaid Friday celebrates the diversity and creativity of local and independent businesses. It’s a fun and enjoyable alternative to the big box store “Black Friday” consumer frenzy.

Locally-Owned Businesses/MBL Members Map
Plaid Friday was created in Oakland, CA to bring back the times when shopping for friends and family was a pleasurable leisurely activity. Now it is celebrated throughout the nation as a kick-off event to the Shift Your Shopping Campaign.
Show your support! Wear plaid while shopping on November 23rd.
*Many thanks to Chris and Caitlin Caserta of Walpole Valley Farms for modeling Plaid Friday’s suggested attire.
I love this idea!
