"We used to drive by and go, 'Wouldn't that be neat?' And now it’s neat. It's actually happened."

That's what it sounds like when a dream becomes real. Theatre Bristol found a permanent home in the Cameo after 61 years of searching. Vaulted Cards opened a community hobby shop that brings people together to embrace a common passion. Both started with one question and the willingness to take the first step.

This is what Small Business Month is all about. Real people. Real ideas. Real support to make them happen.
