We're Making "Black Friday" Less Blechy! (And More Neighborly!)

More and more people are wondering why we have this thing called "Black Friday", which is now creeping back through the early morning hours and into Thanksgiving itself. Why get up early and fight huge crowds when you can have stress-free fun shopping at your favorite locally-owned indie shops? Skip the big boxes and have some fun instead!

We had a fabulous time last year with our Black Friday celebration and we're doing it again even bigger this year! No need to get up early—just stop by during our normal hours for a cup of hot cider. And, with a purchase over $30, you can draw an instant-win prize from our Black Friday fishbowl. You’ll draw one of the following fabulous prizes:

• $5 Peapods Gift Card
• $20 Peapods Gift Card (at least 4 available in the fish bowl!)
• $50 Peapods Gift Card (one of these in the bowl)
• $20 Gift Certificate to our neighbor Micawber's Book Store (2 available)
• $20 Gift Certificate to our neighbor the Little Wine Shop (1 available)
• $20 Gift Certificate to our neighbor The Bibelot (1 available)
