Today I went to my first ribbon cutting — and it was more than just a pair of oversized scissors and a photo moment.
It was networking in its most natural form. Conversations flowing. Business cards exchanging hands. Real connections being made — not forced, not rushed — just community doing what community does best.
I stood there watching another local dream take shape, and it reminded me how powerful it is to support the people building right here in our backyard. Every new storefront, every grand opening, every handshake is part of something bigger — growth.
And honestly? It was a little spark of fun in the middle of the day. Stepping away from emails and appointments to celebrate someone else’s win. Laughing. Meeting new faces. Feeling the momentum.
This is how communities thrive — we show up for each other.
Supporting local isn’t just a slogan… it’s an investment in the future we’re building together.
Here’s to growth, good connections, and more ribbon cuttings ahead. 💜✂️
