"One of our themes is promotion of our local economy," Slack said. "If you spend your money at Walmart, it goes to Bentonville, it leaves the area. But if you shop locally it circulates all around the region and stimulates the local economy. I buy my milk and eggs from my neighbor because not only is it a better product than what I find in the store it's keeping my money local.
