OVERHEARD AT FRED MEYER

"Yeah, I don't really do turkey. Or yams. How about prime rib and a wedge salad with too much ranch dressing and fake bacon bits?"

One member of Team Y365 wanted to hug this person in the produce area. Don't worry, they refrained and gave the dude a double high-five instead .

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FOOD

In light of it being National Native American Heritage Month, and in the spirit of this upcoming week, we thought it fitting to share this piece from time.com about the history of Thanksgiving. It's written by Sean Sherman, who is the founder and CEO of The Sioux Chef and the author of The Sioux Chef's Indigenous Kitchen, which won the 2018 James Beard Award for best American cookbook. We are grateful for the re-frame and the reminder of the origin story of our Thanksgiving feasts, among other things.

We hope you celebrate the heck out of your turkey, tamales, rice, beans, squash, pumpkins, wedge salads, and the like. We are grateful for our community and the many ways in which we connect, be it over an event or a gas station eatery. There are amazing things in Yakima, including, of course, all of you.

KEEP IT LOCAL.

shop.

Small Business Saturday is almost here. To celebrate, we present to you our Shop Local List* which is a directory to help you find precious gifts for your loved ones AND support our locally-owned businesses, artists, and makers.

Our dollars are LOUD. When we shop local, we celebrate what makes the Yakima Valley unique. We create local jobs, we keep more of our community’s money here (to the tune of 68 cents versus 43 cents of every dollar), and we create more choice. Read more about the impact of our local dollars here.

We join the many others who are getting outside for Black Friday and going big on Small Business Saturday.

(*The Shop Local List is by no means comprehensive. If you are locally-owned, we welcome you on our list. Holler at us here with your information. We’d be happy to include you.)
