Support your favorite small businesses during Small Business Week 2007.
The U.S. Small Business Administration has announced that Small Business Week 2007 will be celebrated April 23-24, 2007. Of course, they're celebrating in style, with events to be held at the Ronald Reagan International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. But you can celebrate in your own private way by honoring the small businesses that don't just offer what the masses might buy, but what free-thinking or small niche groups might want. Visit your local independent bookstore — they're a dying breed these days, and need your support. Go see a local Indie movie. Or Indie band. Buy a book from a small independent publisher... (You knew that was coming, didn't you?) But seriously, folks. If you want more choice than the mainstream selection that you find at the local big box stores in the mall, you need to vote with your wallet. And what better time to do it?
