Hey Gang, the holiday season is upon us and Black Friday is only a few days away. Instead of shopping at the big box stores and standing in line for a $50, 80" TV that will break before New Years, hold onto your hard-earned cash and spend it locally this weekend. Slagle Design is fortunate to work with many local businesses and organizations that would love to fill your holiday gift and food needs.
