 Thankfully, it's November and Appalachian Wireless is offering the Samsung GS8 or the GS8 Plus for $100 off the regular price with two-year agreement. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless at East Kentucky Network Company. For many of us, our Christmas shopping officially gets underway on Black Friday or maybe it's Cyber Monday, but the Pikeville Main Street program wants you to also remember Small Business Saturday. It's the Saturday after Black Friday, so the whole effort behind it is to shop small, meaning shop a small business. And small businesses are usually located in your downtown. They're the locally-owned independent business. The mom and pops, as we've always called them. Trimble says Small Business Saturday is a great way to support the locally-owned businesses, but it also educates the public about the shops that call downtown Pikeville home. You know, people go, I didn't know that existed. I didn't know you had these shops or these restaurants. So we're just asking, you know, take a break from the mall, take a break from, you know, a chain store and see what just an independently-owned business might have to offer. Other events are also planned for that Saturday, like the Storybook Walk guided tour that begins at 3 p.m. and the tree lighting ceremony in the city park at 4.30. But those who come earlier to shop before those events begin are reminded to stop first at the plaza outside the Jenny Wiley Theater. The Main Street program will have a tent set up. That's where you're going to get your red bag, and it's going to be called the Red Bag Day. You know, Santa has a red bag. We have red bags with numbers. You can win a prize, depending if you have the correct number that day. But also, for every $10 you spend at a restaurant or a business, you can be entered to win downtown dollars, $250, $150, and $100.
