Chester County has Talent

Celebrate the local arts at Waterloo Gardens! We have invited local artists, food vendors, and musicians to gather on August 11 and 12, 2012 to gain support from the community. Shopping local helps your community, your neighbors, and yourself. Visit us this weekend to enjoy the local atmosphere and support the community. Chester County has lots of talent to share and we hope that you will shop during this day to help boost your local economy as well.

Why shop local? According to the350project.net:‘For every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures. Compare that to only $43 when you spend at a national chain.’
