At the recent Small Business and Non-profit Fair, April Peterson, owner of River Rock Outfitters in downtown Fredericksburg, spoke to attendees about the importance of being a community hub for small businesses. From the very beginning, April understood that community engagement would be a key factor in her success. She emphasized, “Small businesses like ours play a vital role in their communities—whether through volunteering, collaborating with fellow business owners, or supporting local causes. Engagement isn’t just important; it’s essential.”
