From SMS: Small Business Saturday and Open House in Shaw 11/26

This Saturday (November 26, 2011) is Small Business Saturday, a great excuse to patronize our fantastic local businesses and knock out some holiday shopping.  It's also the date of the semi-annual Shaw Main Streets open house, so the day will be full of fun and prizes.
