Small businesses are the lifeblood of any community. They not only provide invaluable services, they also provide tremendous employment opportunities for many local residents. I have been fortunate to witness the incredible contribution of small businesses during my 52 years in Engadine. Today, we celebrate one of those businesses, Big Red Café. It was seven years ago today when the team at Big Red Café first opened their doors. Since that day there has been a steady stream of customers lining up for a coffee or a famous burger. Not only do Ben and the team at Big Red Café help to provide me with a caffeine boost in the morning, they also do it with incredible passion as well. It truly is service with a smile. We know that owning a small business can have its challenges. When you own a business you don't get paid for holidays or overtime. However, there is an incredible sense of satisfaction and belonging from running a small business, like Big Red Café, in a wonderful community like Engadine. Well done again to Ben and the team and here is to seven more wonderful years.
