WHAT’S ON OUR THANKSGIVING TABLE?

FROM THE
South Mississippi has finally felt the welcome chill of fall, and I for one couldn’t be happier. We might not get snow, but we Coasties sure enjoy what autumn weather we do get!
The cooler air is the perfect excuse to bundle up with a warm drink and enjoy the changing of the seasons.
Thanksgiving is one of my all time favorite holidays. While the eating is pretty good all year round in the South,
it’s not every day you get to share a table with your loved ones all in one place. It’s a true blessing, and something I’m
very thankful for.
Tying in the holidays with this month’s special section,
which is all about supporting local businesses, we decorated a Thanksgiving table using all local retailers. Thank you to the many stores who helped us on our mad shopping spree! We love the way it turned out, especially knowing how many small businesses are represented on the table.
Also in this section, read about the importance of shopping small and supporting local businesses, as well as learn about the resources available to those looking to open a business of their own. Jennifer and Jeffrey Sutton of Gulf Coast Veterinary Emergency Hospital earned the well-deserved
title of Mississippi’s Small Business Persons of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration. These best friends and partners are the perfect example of successful small business owners who give back to the
than Ferrell and Rose Alman, owners of S.F. Alman, Ltd. They’ve been in business since 1983 and gave us
the inside scoop of their business and the importance of shopping small, shopping local. It’s all about supporting
one another!
