Food Truck Friday at Laurenzo’s

From Page 1A ––––––––––––––––––––
This week is Thanksgiving, and not only that, the usual “Black Friday” has now officially been pushed back in some places to include late Thursday night. The jockeying to get consumers in the stores this weekend to officially kickoff the holiday shopping season has now reached a fever pitch with every major retailer trying to get an advantage. When Black Friday first began, it was about opening at 6 in the morning and giving things away to entice shoppers to get up early after a day of filling up on those Thanksgiving favorites. Now, 6 a.m. means you missed everything, and thatʼs why this shopping season will certainly bring what appears to be a solid next five to six months, and thatʼs a great thing. With the housing market and the current unemployment the way it is, anything that would appear to be positive is worth gravitating towards, and when many of the major stores say they are going to open at 12 midnight on Friday, you head there in hopes of getting a bargain and receiving a free gift. While you have a delicious meal on Thursday, remember to plan your Black Friday attack, and also make sure that your shopping day/weekend includes a trip to many of our local business, which includes the Mardi Gras Flea Market. This is about the time they
start kicking it up - with more vendors - offering tremendous shopping. A few years back, I had the chance to experience early shopping. While I must admit, I am not a very good shopper, often opting to get what I need and leave, I did arrive at 5 a.m. and got some good bargains, but also got a bunch of things for free. I like free! GULFSTREAM TO THE RESCUE At a time when good news is always welcome, we are now looking at something we talked about last spring, when Gulfstream Park
Racing and Casino was awarded that racing date that would start on December 3rd - instead of the first week of January. Thatʼs huge because we will now have those racing fans down for the holidays, which is important for the local businesses. Next week, we will take a look at the upcoming racing season - including exciting holiday racing cards, which will be great for everyone at the impressive Village at Gulfstream Park. Speaking of the Village at Gulfstream Park, the Holiday Lights show, a huge hit last year, is also ready to get going.
