Because for each dollar you spend at a local business 45 cents stays in the community; whereas, only 13 cents of your dollar remains when that dollar is spent at a chain.

From 9am to 4pm come enjoy our shops and restaurants as well as a Local Artisans Market, family friendly concert and Tarot Card readings. If you are really adventurous sign up to take the Ghost Tour with AZ Hauntings (from 6-8pm, reservations are required).
