3rd Graders at Eliot Elementary sold hundreds of shirts that read, "Buy Local, Save Jobs." For $6/shirt, anyone who wore one Tuesday afternoon in Brookside received at 10% discount at most shops and restaurants.
The students behind the idea say, after they learned about sales tax and the shortage of sales tax revenue in Tulsa, they wanted to do something about it. So, they organized an afternoon push to get customers out to buy local.
Store owners were grateful for the support and say they hope Tuesday afternoon's business helps remind people to keep coming back.
