Nov. 25—The Niagara River Chamber of Commerce is encouraging residents living in its coverage area of Lewiston and Youngstown to check out what local stores have to offer in this year's Small Business Saturday.

Jennifer Pauly, the president of the chamber of commerce, said that the day recognizes the importance of small businesses along with keeping local money in the area.

"We're lucky to to have a region that knows the importance of (small business) in the community," Pauly said. "Especially after Black Friday, which is more for big shoppers."

Nineteen businesses across the Lewiston and Youngstown areas will be participating in Small Business Saturday this year, each offering different specials and sales ranging from discounts to free gifts and swag.

The chamber will also have an open house at its office on 895 Center St. on Saturday, giving away $15 Niagara River Region gift certificates to the first 50 people that stop by the office (must be at least 18 years old and complete paperwork, one per person, and must be present to receive the certificate). Those are redeemable at 60 locations throughout the region and have to be used that day.

Free canvas bags will also given to the first 35 shoppers and free coffee will be available.
