BOZEMAN — It’s Small Business Saturday, a day dedicated to local businesses across the country that generates billions of dollars in consumer spending, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration. For small businesses here in Bozeman, it’s an especially meaningful day.

“It’s really important because the rest of us are working really hard to make creative products,” said Sarah Budd, one of the founders of Alpacas of Montana, a local business that makes alpaca-material clothing and gives alpaca tours.

“About 20% of our products are Montana made,” said Budd.

Budd says Alpacas of Montana has participated in Small Business Saturday for the past 10 to 12 years. This year, she says, they decided to have 20% off all of their handmade products and $20 for a three-pack of socks.
