As a community, we have been broken, there is no doubt there. 
It’s almost time for us to begin the healing process and in that process, I am asking each of you in the town to shop locally.
Shop locally for the following reasons,
**90% of the pesos spent in town, recirculate within the pueblo giving jobs to our residents.
**Local Businesses are the ones that support our local charities, sports teams and local events.
The monies that are spent outside of the Pueblo don’t return. Shopping locally applies to clothing, food, using a service provider, tour agency or Real Estate Office that is not owned by someone in the Pueblo. As a community we should think of ourselves and neighbors first and foremost.
I ask you to first, stop and ask yourself if the product or service can be found here in town.
Ask at your favorite store if they can order that special cheese you normally get from Mega and I bet they can do it! Ask your favorite wine bar, if they can order that cider you like, and I bet they can do it too! You get my point, it can be done. All purchased right here in town.
It may cost a few pesos more but when we way that against the direct benefit to the community, shopping locally within the pueblo, is a clear cut winning way to go to support the Pueblo.
There are so many wonderful stores, restaurants and shops here in town that need our support, now more than ever. 
I love this Pueblo and I know that you do to!
Let’s pull together and put Lo de Marcos back together again.

I just love what you said Buy localy .Support our tiemda for sure.
Last winter in Lo De Marcos we primarily (95%) bought local and it was a win for us and local businesses. We didn’t spend time and money and effort on traveling to other places. Except for one item that I ordered online, the local businesses were able to fill all our needs.
That’s great! Thank you Judith and we hope to have you back again this next winter!
Been a few times in Lo De Marcos and I always found what I needed!!!! No problemo and I am sure that more is available now as the community is always very eager to help customers the best they possibly can so NO reason to shop elsewhere 🙂
