Shop Local on Small Business Saturday!

Small Business Saturday will take place on Saturday, November 30th this year. Small Business Saturday is celebrated across the entire United States and created to encourage shoppers to shop local around the holiday season. Being a small family-owned business ourselves, we want to spread the word and encourage everyone to shop local this year and support your local community! Read on to learn why you should consider shopping local as much as possible this year!


#1 Small Business Typically Give Back More to the Community

Many local businesses are willing to give back to their local community in the form of sponsoring a local charity, little league team, or school fundraiser. Plus, when you shop local, the sales tax stays in your community which helps fund sidewalks, public schools, parks, roads, and more. When you shop at local businesses you are supporting the local business that helps support your local community!

#2 Small Businesses Create More Jobs 

More than half of the jobs created are attributed to small businesses in the United States. The more shop at your local businesses, the more jobs there will be in your community.

#3 Better Customer Service 

Typically when you shop at your local stores you will receive better customer service.

#4 You'll Find Unique Products 

Small businesses pride themselves on the unique products and services they offer. Typically, the business owner is very passionate about their product or service and that's why they started their business in the first place. When you shop local, you'll be able to find unique products that aren't always offered at your big box store.

Explore Thunder Mountain Park

Image
The most scenic cave tour in Missouri is surrounded by the natural beauty of Thunder Mountain Park .  This incredible Lake of the Ozarks attraction  covers hundreds of acres.  It spreads over more than a mile of Lake of the Ozraks shoreline, a mile of highway frontage along Old Missouri Route 5, and all the acreage in between.  That is a lot of nature to be explored! Establishing the park Thunder Mountain Park was established in 1950 in order to protect the caves within it.  The amazing colors and incredible onyx formations inside of Bridal Cave  are all formed by minerals from rain water that seeps into the ground. This is a process called deposition.  Preserving the natural state of the park above the cave prevents any changes to the surface area, which could have a detrimental impact on the deposition process.  Protecting the surface area protects the water quality, which in turn protects the cave.     Aerial view of Thunder Mountain before 1950 A unique, rural attra

Stalactites & Stalagmites - Which is Which?

Image
Caves in Missouri , as well as around the world, are filled with stalactites and stalagmites.  Everyone has heard of these, but most people have trouble remembering which is which.  Today's Bridal Cave blog will hopefully help you to remember once and for all which one hangs from the ceiling and which one hangs from the floor.  We'll even teach you some interesting facts about how both are formed.   There are a couple of different ways that people use to help them keep these two types of formations straight.  Stalactites are fixed "tight" to the ceiling, and stalagmites "might" trip you when you walk.  Another trick is to use the spelling. StalaCtite has a "C" like the Ceiling from which it hangs, and stalaGmites have a "G" like the Ground they grow on.  You may think these ideas sound corny, but we bet at least one of them will stick with you and you will always remember!
