Question of the Day

Question of the Day: Black Friday

Is it worth it to fight the crowds on Black Friday? If so, where is the best place to go?

We'll be asking Easton Patch readers a different question every weekday. Questions could range from local decisions made by officials, to state issues, to national politics and entertainment. Whatever it is, we want to know what EASTON thinks! With Veteran's Day over, Thanksgiving is right around the corner.
