The Town of Davidson recognizes that many residents want to help our local businesses in any way they can. Many of you continue to purchase take out from our restaurants and shop online from our retailers. All of our businesses are grateful for the support from our residents!

Our local businesses are focused on keeping their virtual doors open, and we are working to get them the support that they need, including funding available from the Small Business Administration and through the CARES Act. When the town asked our businesses if they needed anything, their collective response was, “no, thank you, but how can we help the community?” That’s not something you expect from every group of local business owners, but it’s something for which we are so thankful here in Davidson. Our businesses truly prioritize and value our community so deeply. In turn, we hope we can count on you to help us show them how much we appreciate them.

Please print out, color, decorate, or write a message on this downloadable gnome. Then, if you are out, please post it on a merchant’s window, place on the sidewalk in front of a business, or mail to: Gnome Town Hero, P.O. Box 579, Davidson, NC 28036 and we’ll get them to the business. We want to be sure that all of our residents are safe and observe social distancing guidelines, so please remember that if you choose to drop off a gnome in person.

Many of you may know why gnomes are important to Davidson; if you don’t, be on the lookout for a special online story time from our friends at Main Street Books to find out. We’d love to see pictures of your gnomes, so please use #GnomeTownHero on your social media posts, and stay tuned for more ways YOU can be a Gnome Town Hero.
