Editor,

We have all heard the pitch to “shop locally” here in Polson but with less expensive Amazon and online options, our local retailers have really taken a hit. I’d like to tell you a story about a local business that went over and above for my family over the Christmas season.

We had over 20 family members home for Christmas and my oldest daughter’s family has a tradition of enjoying sushi for Christmas Eve dinner. The only local place we knew of was Vinny’s and we weren’t sure if he would be open Saturday. But we got his contact information from a fellow business neighbor, Sharon McDaniel, and gave him a call.

Vinny not only prepared the sushi feast for our Christmas Eve celebration but when we picked it up it was on nice china with extra soy sauce as well. (Who does that?) “Just bring it back when you can,” was his reply. Needless to say, we enjoyed a terrific feast of various types of sushi and my family was thrilled to be able to continue this tradition in Polson.

Thanks, Vinny, for representing our local Polson businesses well in this kind gesture to my family. Words really don’t do your graciousness justice but I wanted to publicly thank you for your gift to us. May God richly bless you.
