Who needs Black Friday?

Residents can get their Christmas shopping done early, as the Hotel Mead hosts the fifth annual Shopping Expo on Nov. 12. from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Over 50 vendors will be on hand for this event, including cash prizes, and free gift bags for those who register. There is a $5 dollar entry fee that will go to help local families in need for the holiday season.
