HAPPY POST-TURKEY DAY AND BLACK Friday greetings to you and your well-stuffed shopping bird.
Things looked busy around North Conway on Black Friday, with Settlers Green, Walmart and Eastern Mountain Sports looking particularly busy. Amazingly, bucking the shopping frenzy trend, REI was closed on Turkey Day as well as on Friday, termed “Opt Out Day,” when employees were encouraged to head outside to spend time with their family and friends.
