"What should I do
today?" Through the holiday season there are a lot
of activities going on. Make a list, plan your
shopping, eat out to avoid cooking, and save gas and
time by taking advantage of all the things you can find
locally...
Thursday
 The
snow is coming, so don't wait for your lunch hour today;
go now to Bee's Cub Cadet and pick up one of these snowblowers. When the wind blows your driveway full of
snow, you'll be able to easily blow it right back out!
And be prepared for
anything Mother Nature throws at us. NAPA has a
full line of de-icing products for the driveway,
sidewalk and vehicles. They also offer ice
scrapers and winter hats. While you're there, is
there a mechanic on your list? This nice hydraulic
jack is a great tool for the do-it-yourselfer.
When lunchtime comes,
why not stop by Mama's Arcade on the downtown square. They offer hot, hearty meals, including breakfast any
time.
