Local Legends Series

Dane Buy Local is excited to announce a new partnership with The Cap Times, made possible through additional funding from the Evjue Foundation. This collaboration will shine a spotlight on some of our incredible members, telling their stories and celebrating them as “Local Legends.”

Through this pilot program, select businesses will be featured in The Cap Times, sharing their journeys, impact, and contributions to our community. This is a unique opportunity to highlight the hardworking entrepreneurs and small businesses that make our local economy thrive.

With limited availability, this initiative will serve as a powerful way to showcase the strength and resilience of our members while reinforcing the importance of supporting local. Stay tuned for the first features and help us celebrate our Local Legends!
