we’re {almost} famous!

02.06.2016 By: Eliza, MiniBury Founder

As you loyal readers know, at MiniBury, we aim to shop local when possible. So, when it comes to getting our paper products printed, we often turn to the Little Press Room in Middlebury. The shop is far from new; they’ve been in business for thirty years, so you’ve probably hear of them by now. But did you know they send out a monthly newsletter that showcases local businesses, local event calendars, new products and  fun tips, tricks and online articles? We were honored to be the featured customer in their February Newsletter! We’ve reposted our article below for your reading pleasure. If you’d like to learn more about the products Little Press Room offers, be sure to read the whole February newsletter or visit them online.

Eliza, MiniBury Founder

Hello, I’m Eliza. I founded MiniBury in 2012 because I had a hunch that I wasn't the only parent in Addison County missing fun family friendly events. I love the challenge of finding and sharing information about our community to other parents.
