(12/1/2011) - A group of local artists and entrepreneurs have banded together to showcase their community - the town of Cambridge and its village center, Jeffersonville.
Saturday, November 26 is “Shop Small, Buy Local” day. This generally means avoiding a road trip to the big city or a short trip to the keyboard to punch in “Amazon.” The Internet is turning itself inside out, however.

Members of the Cambridge community worked with the Cambridge Planning Commission and helped to apply for the eVermont program. Together they wrote a proposal and solicited letters of support from various community organizations and businesses.
