Nov. 25—Bluefield small businesses are being highlighted once again this year, and plenty of prizes await customers.

Small Business Saturday is set for Nov. 26, the day after "Black Friday," and 36 local businesses are participating.

Jim Spencer, the city's economic and community development director as well as director of the Bluefield Economic Development Authority (BEDA), said the event grows every year.

"This is our eighth year participating in Small Business Saturday," he said. "Each year it has grown."

Spencer said Summit Community Bank has been a sponsor of a contest every year and "we are thankful for them ... and to every business that has donated, including the Princeton Chick-fil-A."

A lucky winner will receive 52 Chick-fil-A digital offer cards, a meal each week of the year.

"We are looking forward to a great day Saturday," he said. "Come out and join us if you are shopping 'small' or dining 'small.'"

Shoppers can visit any of the participating businesses and make a purchase, then complete a Small Business Saturday raffle ticket that will be provided.

Prizes will be drawn shortly after Small Business Saturday.

Prizes include 52 Chick-fil-A digital offer cards (to be used within a year), $100, $75 and $50 gift cards sponsored by Summit Community Bank, a gift basket filled with local goodies, a gift card from Body & Skin, a cutting board that can be personalized for free from Crea Company, a gift card from Grant's Supermarket, a gift basket from Magnolia on Jefferson, tickets to The Granada Theater for a group of 8, a free HydraFacial from The Skin Firm, and a gift from The Vault Downtown.
