BEREA, Ky. (WKYT) - The Saturday after Thanksgiving has become known as Shop Small Business Saturday, a day for people to take advantage of deals from small businesses in their local community.

Drew and Ariana Maddox are the owners of Maddox Made Portrait Studio and Artisan Market in Berea’s Artisan Village.

“This is a very interesting part of Berea because on its best day it’s a Hallmark movie waiting to happen,” Ariana Maddox said.

Ariana Maddox said Shop Small Business Saturday feels like an early Christmas. She said this is because she operates a storefront for more than 30 Kentucky artists.

“Every time someone makes a purchase here, it is directly impacting a local artist who sat down and created this thing and then it’s going straight to the consumer,” Ariana Maddox said.
