There are less than 50 days until Christmas Day and Kewaunee County is making sure they all count. The chambers of commerce in Luxemburg, Kewaunee, and Algoma are all teaming up to present the Kewaunee County Christmas Stroll the last two weekends of the month to help promote shopping local with chances to earn prizes. The first weekend of the stroll will feature the Kewaunee Holiday of Parade of Lights on November 20th at 6:30 p.m. Aissen Tree Farm near Luxemburg will kick off the holiday season even earlier with its open house this weekend. Owner Tammy Aissen says they are expecting a busy season.
According to the Andersonville Study of Retail Economics, for every $100 you spend at a locally-owned business, $68 stays in the community as opposed to $43 when you buy from a national chain.
