Shop Faribault, MN - I GET IT! in Faribault - Shop Local

The goal of I GET IT! in Faribault is to increase local retail and service sales to thereby revitalize our area economy while creating a brighter future for our community.

We encourage all Faribault businesses, organizations and residents to make an effort to buy more products and services locally. We are asking local businesses to pledge to shift 10% or more of their current spending out of the region back to vendors in our community.

I GET IT! has the double meaning of I understand it - how important it is to support local businesses and I BUY IT here locally as much as I can. Do YOU GET IT?
