The Delaware State News staff is assembling a Thanksgiving edition “stuffed” with Black Friday news, shopping ideas and savings.
The clickety-clack of the insert machine in the Delaware Printing Company shop next door has been constant in the build-up to Thanksgiving. There will be 25 major advertisers’ inserts in the Thursday edition.
Officially, each copy will weigh in at about 2.5 pounds.
For those of you who do not subscribe, you can pick up a copy at a local newsstand for just $1.
Our Thanksgiving edition will also be stuffed with inspiring stories and fun features.
Here are some highlights to tease your appetite:
Delaware State News reporter Mike Finney will explain why Meals on Wheels is doubling its effort this year and how a local restaurant will team up with activists to feed the homeless in Dover.
From Sussex County, we have quite a tale about a turkey hunter’s incredible collection. “I call my office my turkey museum,” he says.
Reporter Brooke Schultz will help shoppers get in the mood for Black Friday shopping. She is compiling a list of store hours that will help you develop a shopping strategy.
In Sports, we will kick off the championship weekend coverage with features on area teams in the Division I and Division II football finals.
Sports writers Tim Mastro and Ben Heck will have features on Middletown and Woodbridge high schools in advance of Saturday’s championship games at the University of Delaware.
Middletown will play Hodgson at 1 p.m.
Defending champion Woodbridge will play Howard at 6 p.m.
Woodbridge hopes to honor former quarterback Troy Haynes, an all-state quarterback who died of cancer earlier this year.
See a list of locations below. Some newsstands will have the edition available on Wednesday late afternoon or evening.
Thank you for your readership and support of our local advertisers.
Happy Thanksgiving!
