Marion City Councilman Kai Meade is dusting off his walking shoes with summer just around the corner.
Over the coming weeks, Meade, D-1st Ward, will be going from door-to-door to talk with the community. While in the past he s done this for his campaigns, this time he s raising awareness for Small Business Appreciation Day. It s just fun doing the leg work, Meade said. There s probably less-calorie-burning ways to support small businesses, but I think this is kind of what we need from a pandemic standpoint [which is] someone willing to go into business-to-business, explain it and try to create a grassroots support system.
