Macoupin County Board Chairman, Andy Manar, with Shop Local Supporters signed a Proclamation recognizing Small Business Saturday throughout Macoupin County on November 26. Small Business Saturday is the day we celebrate the Shop Small movement by supporting small businesses in Macoupin.

“Shops like Toprani’s are a great example of a hidden jewel in Macoupin that needs our support this holiday season,” said Chairman Manar. “With the lowest sales tax around at 6.25%, shopping in Macoupin just makes sense.”
