This International Women’s Day, Odd Dog is celebrating a number of our favorite women-owned local businesses. These businesses not only provide outstanding products and services but also play an important role in strengthening our communities!

What Is International Women’s Day?

International Women’s Day, celebrated on March 8, honors the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women worldwide. It’s also a great reminder of the impact women entrepreneurs have on shaping industries and communities. Supporting women-owned businesses — whether by making a purchase or spreading the word about their work — is one way we can all contribute to that progress and create more opportunities for women everywhere.
