——–

2026 is the 16th Annual Small Business Saturday, marking over a decade of support for local business owners. Small Business Saturday is a day dedicated to supporting small businesses and communities across the country. Founded by American Express in 2010, this day is celebrated each year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving in the U.S. Since it started in 2010, consumers have reported spending over $200 billion across all 14 Small Business Saturdays combined*.

You can learn more about the history of Small Business Saturday here.

In order to drive shoppers to Shop Small® this year, the Downtown Camas Association is participating in the American Express® Neighborhood Champion Program to spotlight small businesses and the impact they have on communities. An average two-thirds of every dollar ($0.67) spent at a small business in the U.S. stays in that local community.2 That means shopping small could help bring things like better schools, smoother roads, and new jobs to neighborhoods across the country.

Thank you for shopping local in Downtown Camas!

The DCA also brings friendly elves to town that hand out festive goodies to the kiddos from their Holiday Swag Wagon, and the DCA promotes the event and all the amazing local shopping for the holidays! We also help coordinate the safety pedestrian corridors during the tree lighting.

Residents and visitors alike will once again enjoy a bustling downtown Camas with school and community choirs, bands and dancers, photos with Santa (bring your camera!), crafts for the kids, street food vendors, and downtown restaurants and shops open for business.

Click Here to see all the Facebook Album full of fun pics from 2026 Jurassic Camas!

The Jurassic Period was a time of significant global change in continental configurations, oceanographic patterns and biological systems. During this period the supercontinent Pangea split apart, allowing for the eventual development of what are now the central Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.

Many groups of vertebrate and invertebrate organisms important in the modern world made their first appearance during the Jurassic Period. Life was especially diverse in the oceans—thriving reef ecosystems, shallow-water invertebrate communities, and large swimming predators, including sharks, reptiles and squid-like animals. On land, dinosaurs and flying pterosaurs dominated the ecosystems, and birds made their first appearance. (From Britannica.com)

Come lend a hand and help turn our town into a visual delight to enjoy all summer long!
