Dothan is loaded with places to shop on Black Friday! Thanksgiving is a great time to have a newspaper. After you finish eating and cleaning the kitchen sit down and rest and put your feet up. While your feet are up you can plan you Black Friday Attack!!!!!! There are stores that open at 4:00 AM in Dothan. I have seen advertisements with sales as much as 60% off. I'll have to say I've never seen such a discount so far away from Christmas. Sign of the times I guess.
Here's a few tips for your Black Friday Shopping:
Make your list and check it twice.
Check sales papers and write store beside each item.
Map out your route.
Buy only what is on your list. Don't waste time looking!
Use cash. Don't go into debt.
Be careful! Watch out for the other person.
Be nice! No fighting. Remember it is just "stuff".
Have fun!
With these tips you should have a successful Black Friday day.
Happy Shopping!

Turkey Day is Coming!
Thanksgiving! Have you ever just pondered that word? Over the past week, I started to think about and remember those Thanksgiving traditions and really what I had to be thankful for this year. With the state of our country and economy some people will have a very slim holiday and it might not look like you have much to be thankful for, but we all do.
I have been through a Thanksgiving with no job and no prospects on the horizon. I visited with loved ones at the hospital on holidays. I have been alone because of illness and sent my family to enjoy themselves with family, even though I could not. Times can be hard, but I can think of so many things I have in my life to be thankful for. As far as our country is concerned we have not been attacked on American soil since 911. Our troops overseas have done a fabulous job keeping us safe and making great progress which is not reported. Our city has new businesses opening up which means more jobs. Our church just had our Thanksgiving Celebration to celebrate all God has done for us and for paying off over 1 million dollars for our newest building in only 22 months. I personally have a great husband and daughter, a wonderful family, food on the table, and a roof over my head. I am very blessed.
One thing to be thankful for that many of us forget is that we are breathing and our heart is still beating--we are ALIVE!!! I wake up-thankful. I'm breathing-thankful. Even on my worst day those are things to be thankful for. During this Thanksgiving season be thankful for even the smallest of things.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Publix is coming! Publix is coming!! Sound the alarm Publix is coming! Your eyes are not deceiving you! This chain has been long awaited in the circle city. Publix will be located on Hwy 84 west on the corner of 84 and John D. Odom and the corner of Cottonwood Road and Ross Clark Circle. Publix will the the anchor store for each location. The 84 west complex will be called Westway Publix and the Cottonwood Road location will be called Cottonwood Corners.
Many people in the Wiregrass have been awaiting the day that Publix would grace the map in Dothan. Publix has the reputation of being a top of the line market. The variety they offer is huge and the Publix brand items are great! Yes, it can be a little pricier that the other grocers in the area, but the quality is a higher and you pay for quality. The have a huge variety of produce and even carry sushi. Publix ranks up there with another grocer-Fresh Market.
It's a great time for the city of Dothan. We have new retail coming in which means new jobs and more places to spend our money.

It's Here! It's Here!!!
The National Peanut Festival started this past Friday and will continue through Sunday, November 9. This is a very exciting part of the year for many folks who grew-up around here. I have always enjoyed the "fair" since I was a little girl. I can remember riding all the kiddy rides and then moving up to the "big girl" rides as I got older. I truly enjoy my corn dog from "The Corn Dog Man" and my elephant from the Boy Scouts. Let me tell you there's nothin' better. The weather is just perfect with the nip in the air at night. Believe me, you don't want to sweat at the fair. There's something that just isn't right about the combination of sweat and the fair.
This Saturday, November 8, marks the parade. The parade is like the crowning jewel of the National Peanut Festival. People from all around line Main Street just to see it. It encompasses everything about the festival and Dothan. There are bands, ROTC groups, motorcycles, queens, children, dignitaries, and so much more. One of the highlights early on is when that cement truck full of peanuts slowly moves dropping 100's of pounds of peanuts on the street. Tons of kids and grown-ups run to collect their share. It's lots of fun and it gives you something to eat during the parade.
Come and join the fun and visit the fair and check out the parade.
