Photos: Yes, Virginia, shopping local for gifts is a great idea

By Howard B. Owens

Of course you can find great gifts in locally owned stores, and at prices you can afford.

Staying with shopping local is a great way to support Batavia Businesses -Last year when I needed a new snow blower I stopped by Cedar Street Sales & Rentals and talked with Guy.Within a few minutes he had me hooked on a real nice Cub Cadet with all the bells and whistles.
So this year when my Yard Man Mower died the very first thing I did was stop by to see Guy,sure enough it didn’t take long before we were loading a real nice Cub Cadet into the Van.In my opinion everyone is very friendly & knowledgeable and the service is great.
