All holiday season, we have encourage people to shop local, and we are continuing to encourage shoppers to do so.

While many people are done shopping and already have all their gifts wrapped and placed under the tree, many will spend today and tomorrow finishing up any last-minute Christmas shopping.

We encourage those that do have gifts left to purchase to do so locally at one of the many stores in Selma.

Shopping local makes a much bigger impact than shopping in another city or online because the money stays right here and Selma and makes a direct impact. Good luck to all those out there looking for last-minute gifts.
