The Columbia County Chamber of Commerce will participate in the sixth annual Small Business Saturday on November 28th to support small businesses in the Greater Augusta Area. The official announcement will take place during the monthly Columbia County Board of Commissioners Meeting.  The meeting will begin at 6:00 p.m., Building A auditorium, at the Evans Government Center.
 
Founded by American Express in 2010, Small Business Saturday is a day to celebrate the small businesses that help support their neighborhoods and is held every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Now in its sixth year, Small Business Saturday has been embraced as part of the holiday shopping tradition as each year shoppers, businesses and public officials come together to Shop Small and show their neighborhood pride.
 
Understanding the important contributions small businesses make to their communities, The Columbia County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce its participation in Small Business Saturday and the Neighborhood Champion program.  Tammy Shepherd, President/CEO  at the Columbia County Chamber of Commerce, says "Small businesses create jobs and add uniqueness to our community."

On November 28th the greater Augusta area is encouraged to take part in the Small Business Saturday.
