This past weekend, the city of Neosho had 1000’s of visitors come to our fine city looking for bargains and other can’t-live-without items being sold at the annual city-wide garage sale. And while this event helps people turn old, unwanted items into cash, it also helps put cash back into our city.
Each year, those visitors leave with more stuff than they came with, but they also leave with some of their $$ staying at local restaurants, convenience stores and gas stations. Those $$ translate into sales taxes that ultimately help our city pay its bills.
As we start the turnaround of our city’s financial crisis, I hope we continue to support these fine events and work to find more ways to get visitors into our city. Neosho has so many things to offer – let’s work on getting more people to come and see what makes Neosho such a special place to live.
