Join fellow Think Local First members as we reflect on the past year, look ahead to what’s next, and celebrate the collective impact of supporting locally owned businesses.
A Word from TLF President, Beverly Carter
With one year of leading TLF as President under my belt, it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come, from our new online experience and exciting campaigns ahead to a growing membership base and well-attended events. There is a real sense of community, connection and prosperity growing within Think Local First, and I can’t wait to celebrate what we’ve accomplished together and look ahead to what’s next.
Meet Our Host: Jennifer
Five years is a wonderful milestone for any local business, and we’re thrilled to celebrate Jennifer, her team, and the community of customers who have supported Adventure Clothing along the way.
From versatile clothing and luggage to bags and travel accessories, every piece is thoughtfully selected with comfort, quality, fit, and function in mind. Jennifer’s experience in the travel and lifestyle retail world, along with her genuine love of helping customers find the right pieces, has shaped Adventure Clothing into a business that is about much more than what you wear. It’s about feeling confident, comfortable, and ready for whatever adventure comes next. Join us as we raise a glass to five years of shopping local, travelling well, and building a business that is very much part of the fabric of our community.
Meet Our Keynote Speaker: John Wilson
