Buying Locally.

Here is an example of what someone can do and be creative in the process.

Recently Garth Brandaw (owns WaterPlace in downtown Salem) decided to brainstorm an idea to support downtown Salem and it's merchants.

Mary Lou Zeek (from Mary Lou Zeek Gallery) helped him by creating a tray from a map of downtown Salem...on the map are cupcakes from Sugar. Sugar., along with a small dish that was purchased locally...Mary Lou Zeek Gallery (you can't see it in this photo) with a card that says...YOU ARE HERE!

After eating the cupcakes, the map is exposed showing all the downtown streets where people can shop!

We LOVE to see people invest in their community and thank Garth from thinking of our street.
