Osan Mayor Lee Gwon-jae Holds 'Shopping with Love' Event

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Lee Soo-won] Osan Mayor Lee Gwon-jae conducted a 'shopping event' at Osaek Market in the city on the 13th, ahead of Chuseok, the nation's traditional holiday.

On this day, the mayor purchased agricultural, livestock, and fishery products as well as Chuseok provisions using local currency in order to encourage traditional market merchants facing difficulties due to high prices and economic slowdown, and to provide some assistance to them.

The mayor visited elderly residents living alone in the city, delivered the purchased provisions directly, engaged in conversation, and offered holiday greetings, while also delivering items to child welfare facilities.

Osan Mayor Lee Gwon-jae stated, "As the revitalization of traditional markets directly leads to local economic development, I hope our citizens will also prepare for the Chuseok holiday at traditional markets and join in revitalizing the local economy," and added, "I wish you all a bountiful Chuseok like the full moon."
