The holiday season is fast approaching, and here in Grimes, there’s so much to look forward to! With the leaves turning and falling and the air getting crisper, it’s time to gear up for family gatherings, holiday lights, and all the joy this season brings. But beyond the festivities, this is a fantastic time to support our local community and the small businesses that make Grimes a special place to live.
Why Shop Local?
As Grimes continues to grow, we’re blessed with more local shops and services than ever before. Shopping local means helping families right here in town thrive, keeping our economy vibrant, and supporting the folks who support us back. When you buy from small businesses, you’re putting your dollar straight into the hands of people who give back to our schools, sponsor local sports teams, and contribute so generously to our community.
What’s in Store this Season:
From shops filled with unique gifts to enjoying time with friends and family at one of our local restaurants, Grimes has everything you need to celebrate the upcoming season.
Gift Ideas that Give Back:
Consider gift cards from local businesses. These gifts do more than fill stockings; they create lasting memories and bring our community closer.
Community Events to Keep You in the Spirit:
One of my favorite events of the year is the Grimes Holiday Celebration. Come meet with Santa and Mrs. Claus on December 8th from 5-7pm at Heritage Park. I encourage you all to attend.
This holiday, let’s show some Grimes spirit by choosing to shop, dine, and give local. Together, we can make a difference and keep our town growing in all the best ways.
I wish everyone a warm and wonderful holiday season.
