#mydurant

How can I help?

Keep sharing stories and photos of our small businesses and the things that make Durant special on social media using #MyDurant. We want to let the producers know we have a variety of small businesses in our town that are hard workers, but need their expert advice to really thrive!

For the next phase of the competition, we are dividing our efforts into teams. Individuals are welcome to serve on more than one team if they wish and if their time permits. Each team is committed to completing a list of tasks before The Small Business Revolution town visit in January.
