Speaking of Small Business Saturday, be sure and stop by Hodge Podge Lodge as owner Kelly Smith is having a great special for her customers this Saturday. Of course, if you’re out shopping this Friday (Black Friday) be sure and see what specials Kelly has that day as well.
Every Bloomin’ Thing is also having special shopping deals in honor of Small Business Saturday, as well as Black Friday. Sip her new line of Crafted Cocktails while you stroll through their Christmas gift shop. The first 20 customers get a free gift with purchase!
Remember to stop by Milwood Florist & Nursery. Owners Sam and Patty Glass are now carrying Lularoe clothing, specialty lotions, jewelry, truffles and more.
HUMANE SOCIETY DONATIONS
AAA in Susanville is sponsoring a drive for the Humane Society. They are looking for donations of dog and cat food, as well as kitty litter, collars and leashes for dogs and cats. Toys and treats are always good. You can drop off your donations at their office, 2920 D Main Street in Susanville. They will be collecting donations until Dec. 15.
NEED HELP IN HERLONG
If you have some extra time on your hands and would like to help the Herlong community, they could use the help. The Herlong Library still has some data entering that needs to be done before the library can open. If that’s not your thing, the Herlong Family Resource Center/Second Hand Store needs some help. If you’d like to help either of these two out, call Janis or Dede at 827-3007. They would really appreciate it.
