Event promotes local businesses, artisans
As Cyber Monday takes hold of the retail landscape today, Sustainable Midlands, a Columbia environmental advocacy group, is endorsing commerce of another sort.
It’s hosting 35 local artisans to sell their wares at the annual “Sustainable Holiday Celebration,” which will also have locally grown wreaths for sale and food tastings from South Carolina farmers, restaurants and grocery stores, including Whole Foods Market, Rosewood Market, Spotted Salamander and @116 Wine & Espresso Bar. They’ll also be handing out coupon books for local vendors.
The event runs from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. at 701 Whaley, and attendees are encouraged to bring cash or checks, not credit cards.
