The Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce says it is pleased to announce that Atlantic has been recognized as a Neighborhood Champion for the third year in a row by American Express. Ouida Hargens, Atlantic Area Chamber Executive Director, says
“We’re excited to partner with all of the Atlantic Area business to create shopping incentives and activities to celebrate Small Business Saturday.”

Founded by American Express in 2010, Small Business Saturday® is a day to celebrate the small businesses that help support our community. American Express created the Neighborhood Champion Program to help rally communities around Small Business Saturday and is working alongside numerous business organizations to support local Small Business Saturday celebrations throughout the country.

Hargens says “American Express recognizes communities that have strong participation. The on-going Shop Local Passport Program, the Holiday Ice Skating Rink and overall community support all helped Atlantic achieve this national recognition. It’s a great opportunity for Atlantic to receive national recognition and support the vibrant character of our community.”

You’re invited to enjoy Atlantic and show your community pride this Saturday, November 26th, by shopping small businesses and be sure to take advantage of the first ever Holiday Skating Rink. Receive double stamps on your Shop Local Passport and a Shop, Scratch & Win ticket. Visit www.christmasinatlantic.com for a list of participating businesses and a full schedule of activities.
