GALION — The Galion-Crestline Area Chamber of Commerce is encouraging area residents to support local uptown businesses this week on Small Business Saturday … by staying right here in Galion.

Several local businesses have come together in a special program called Holiday Sip and Shop. It will go on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Come and ring in the beginning of the holiday season with some of your favorite Uptowne Galion establishments, including The Topia Boutique, Eighteen-O-Three Taproom, The Candi Bar, H&K Watkins, The Roseberry House and The Brush and Pallette Art Gallery.

Grab door prizes (while they last), participate in the Kiwanis Kids Toy Drive, shop the latest winter lines and raise a glass, as the Ohio State-Michigan game will be on the big screen at the Taproom.
