Vasse MLA Libby Mettam is urging residents and visitors to support small business as WA celebrates Small Business Day.
WA Small Business Day is on Saturday October 31 with this year's theme 'Think Small First'.
Ms Mettam said small and family-run businesses were the backbone of the local economy.
I encourage everyone to get out and support our local small businesses and all the local jobs they create," she said.
Our small businesses are what makes our local communities great and without small business, a community doesnt thrive.
In the year we have had, this is a great opportunity to celebrate and recognise all our amazing small business owners across the region.
This is the initiative of Small Business Matters, and I congratulate the volunteers who work so hard to support and promote small businesses.
