Hey Shoppers! – Ready to start your holiday shopping hunt? Well, Fairbury’s own group of merchandising ochestraters, aka “The Specialty Shops”, are working hard to make it more convenient and comfortable for us to have access to a whole host of special interest lines as well as the staples of common interest. In addition to their business theme stocks many of them have added holiday specific items and in total they provide a huge availability of probable gifts as well as the things you need for everyday living. Monday, November 2nd, brings us another “Shop Late Monday” program and, it also begins the season’s Holiday Open House event schedule so, on this Monday, several of the shops around town will be extending their “shop late timeline” from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm and you will find a variety of sales, discounts, and purchasing incentives to help get you on your way to completing that list of wants and needs. Tis the season and, why wait? Go make it happen for you and yours. Here’s a listing of the “Good Guys” of “Shopping Adventureland” –
