As we continue to celebrate National Small Busines As we continue to celebrate National Small Business Week, today we were lucky enough to have Missy Vatinet of La Farm Bakery, Caleb S. of Triangle Esports Academy, and Cherith Hunter Roberson of Wake Technical Community College Small Business Center join us for a fireside chat for our May Economic Development Meeting!

They shared their stories of how these small business owners have grown their businesses right here in #carync! Wake Tech's Small Business Resource Center is such an asset to our community and we are lucky to have such a great resource in our own backyard!

Today, and everyday, our hats are off to ALL of our small business members who provide so much value and rich character to the Cary community and beyond!
