TREMBLAY Assistant Managing Editor SOUTHWICK — At Yellow Bear Market, every day is a “shop small” day. Owner Vicki Benford and her daughter Brandi Reed have filled their shop at 642 College Highway with noth- ing but small business owners. The flea-market style shop moved to Southwick this fall and rebranded itself as a mar- ket versus the “indoor tag sale” style store they previ- ously had in Westfield. Benford said although it is always small and local at Yellow Bear, she is opening for extended hours Nov. 30 in celebration of Small Business Saturday. Yellow Bear will be open from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. and will offer free coffee, hot cocoa and cookies. Santa Claus will be available for free Local hot sauce, honey, fresh eggs and breads are available at Yellow Bear Market. (Photo by photos from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Hope E.
