Don't Forget About Small Business on Saturday, November 27th!

Small Business Saturday takes place annually on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Small Business Saturday is a holiday shopping day dedicated to encourage us to shop local for the holidays! As a small family business, we want to spread the word about Small Business Saturday and encourage shoppers to shop local! Read on to find out a few compelling reasons to take advantage of small business Saturday! 



#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! Speleothem Now to get a little more technical.  The wor
