Get Last Minute Christmas Gifts In Dorchester


With Christmas almost here, why not get your last minute gifts in Dorchester?

Gifts from Dorchester? 


Absolutely.


Here are some options to consider:

  • Gift certificates from City Slickers, Big T's BBQ Pit Stop, Donna's Hair Creations, The Well, Barley Specialties, Farmers Cooperative gas station and garage (new tires, anyone?), Tyser's Repair and Auto Sales, and other Dorchester area businesses.
  • Unique items from local vendors such as Dorchester's Deb Nerud Vernon's home-based business with SeneGence International, or Monat products sold by Dorchester's Penny Keller, or Cale Olson's Olson Graphix of Dorchester, which specializes in high-quality, printed or cut vinyl decals, signs and banners for homes, businesses, vehicles and more.  
  • Antiques from Hedgehog and Hubbies Antique Shop on the west edge of town. The antique shop has a number of Dorchester and DHS vintage items. 
  • A savings account for a child or grandchild at First State Bank.  
As one reader e-mailed us recently, it just makes sense to buy Christmas gifts locally instead of purchasing "the cheap, imported Chinese products that add to America's trade deficit."  We just want to avoid the crowds and online scams.


Finally, during this time of giving and goodwill towards others, don't forget the importance of contributing to area philanthropies and charitable groups, or volunteering to help with local projects and organizations. 

Consider sending some well-deserved funds to the Dorchester Community Foundation Fund. As we've reported, the Foundation's next project on the list is a splash pad for the Dorchester City Park. Your donations to the the Foundation are tax deductible. Make checks payable to: Dorchester Community Foundation Fund, c/o Peg Bergmeyer, 101 Washington, Dorchester, NE 68343.  

Also, think about sending monthly donation to the Dorchester Methodist Church.  Or perhaps the Dorchester Volunteer Fire Department.
