EVENT: Small Business Saturday

November 25, 2014

Did you know: Founded by American Express in 2010, Small Business Saturday is celebrated every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. With an original intent to encourage shoppers to spend money locally during the holiday season, momentum around Small Business Saturday is growing. In fact, the United States Senate officially recognized Small Business Saturday in 2011 and the Small Business Saturday Facebook page currently has more than 3.3 million likes!

There are many reasons to shop locally, and we have some GREAT businesses right here in our own community. Featured below are some of them! Don't forget to mention you saw them on Macaroni Kid (another small business!) when you shop with them. 


H&H Style, in the Hyde Park Mall next to the new Stop&Shop, is a local family owned clothing store that opened in April 2014.   In the store, you will find  affordable clothing and accessories for men, women, and children. There is something for everyone in a  variety of styles and a wide range of sizes:  jeans, hoodies, winter coats, dresses, skirts, pants,  dress shirts, ties, scarves, shoes, underwear, socks, jewelry,  watches, belts, handbags, sunglasses, hats, gloves, thermals, ...the list goes on.  The store is open 7 days a week:   M-F noon - 8 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.  Check out  their facebook page  and give it a like https://www.facebook.com/HHStyleHydePark and make sure to stop by to check out the store at 3999 Albany Post Rd, Hyde Park, NY.  (845) 233-5212.

 

The Harmony Garden School of Music in the heart of Fishkill, NY was founded by New York State licensed educator Rachel Beard, on the belief that musical learning should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age, ability, or disability.  Now in our second year, we are proud to offer programs for budding musicians ages 0 through 100.  In addition to children's classes including Kindermusik, WunderKeys preschool piano, and creative dance classes, we also offer private instrumental lessons for all ages.  

At the Harmony Garden, it is our mission and our passion to provide rich learning experiences to children and their parents, adolescents, and adults that will positively impact their lives and hearts for years to come. We are also passionate about giving back to the community both through charitable causes in the area as well as those that benefit all children.
