City Stimulus is a grass-roots marketing campaign taking place December 4 – 7 rewarding buyers who shop local and shop small. The goal of City Stimulus is to maintain this community for generations to come, to build awareness, and to reward loyalty.

Those jeans everyone is wearing now? You bought them at your favorite downtown boutique 2 years ago. The cocktail lounge that you'd really like to keep as your secret? You're flirting with the idea of telling your co-workers about it.

Now is the time to get the word out, and City Stimulus is here to help. Help level the playing field, spread hope from politics to retail and make it a great holiday shopping season for you and your favorite small businesses. To help each other.
