Nicole Cox (right) of the Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of Commerce presents the first Small Business Saturday gift bag of the day to drawing winner Hannah Michalsen. Michalsen and three other downtown shoppers won the gift bags by first visiting all of the downtown businesses participating in Small Business Saturday, which then made them eligible to enter a drawing held by the Chamber at the end of the day. Michelsen's prize, the highest valued bag, included $180 in gifts from local retailers.
