The holiday season is upon us and I’d like to remind people that shopping local this season is a great and green idea.

The sustainability of island businesses depends on you buying their goods and services. And while you are shopping local, don’t forget our local museums

Museum stores always have an interesting selection of items. Whether they are books, photos, mugs, toys, or memberships, they are usually unique items you are unlikely to find anywhere else.

So, for the kids or the history buffs  on your shopping list, please support KiDiMu and the Bainbridge Island Historical Museum when looking for gifts this holiday season.
