Find a gift for a friend, family, loved one, or just for yourself by shopping small this Thanksgiving weekend during the sixth annual Small Business Saturday, Nov. 30, in downtown Klamath Falls.

The heart of a roaring community, according to the Small Business Administration, small businesses are responsible for 62.7 percent of new jobs created annually in the United States since 1995. And, 68 cents of every dollar spent at a small business stays in the local community, generating 48 cents in local business activity as a result of those businesses purchasing goods and services, the SBA says.
