SHOP LOCAL, SHOP SMALL

Bedford Revitalization, Inc is happy to celebrate another holiday season with this “Shop the Square” event. To encourage others to “shop local”, they are offering a special prize drawing for anyone who shops at participating businesses in Downtown Bedford. Customers will get a chance to enter the drawing just by stopping by the businesses and can get an additional entry by buying a product/service.
