About Us
Sparta Today's Mission: Here at Sparta Today, we work to promote our local businesses through community interactions
This means a variety of things, including:
-
We strive to host and create events that will bring our community together. Whether it be a carnival, a festival, or a market, we will do our best to bring the community together and celebrate our tight-knit community
-
We do what we can to help our local businesses thrive. Small businesses mean a lot to us, and through various programs and events, we do what we can to keep them running.
-
We listen to feedback. No one is perfect, and we are no exception, let us know how we can improve!
-
We care about our community and strive to make it an even more beautiful place for future generations!
