Small Business Month continues.

High River's Manager of Economic Development Jodi Dawson says there's a special event for small business operators.

"We are putting on a celebration event on Monday at Carlson's and it really is an opportunity for community members and all business owners to come out and enjoy a cocktail together, have a toast and really just enjoy each others company," Dawson says.

She says Jim Dyers, one of the creators of the funding mechanism that the vitality fund was modeled after will be speaking.

Dawson says he's got some incredible example of how businesses and communities work together to make a difference and she thinks he'll be thrilled to hear some of High River's own successes.

It starts at 5:30 at Carlson's On MacLeod.
