Monrovia celebrated Small Business Saturday in a big way. More than 400 shopping bags with the Shop Small logo were handed out by Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors acting as Santa’s elves. Everyone who spent over $50 in Monrovia’s Old Town was entered to win one of four wonderful gift baskets with goodies donated by local merchants.
The four lucky winners from among the almost 100 entries were Morgan Conway, Ignacio Vidal, and Julie Gentile of Monrovia, and Jennie O’Reilly of Pasadena.
