I hope you each had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! I have to admit, I’m a little disappointed we don’t have the traditional Black Friday sales… not so much for lack of the stuff or sales available but because “the girls” in the family had some good memories and laughs when we were up at all hours.

Nearby Alpine Lake Resort is holding their “most wonderful savings of the year” event at the pro shop, today and tomorrow from 10am – 3pm. The best-price for golf memberships and 30% off in the pro shop!

Also, MD DNR has exclusive products available in their online store. Black Friday deals! They have great prices on their 2021 calendar, “the gift of trees” and more!

Savage River Lodge is offering their annual gift card sale. For every $200 purchased now through midnight on Monday, November 30th, receive an additional $20 bonus*. That’s an extra $100 if you spend $1000! Tell ’em Deep Creek Times sent ya!

From the Small Business Administration: “Saturday, November 28, 2020 is Small Business Saturday – a day to celebrate and support small businesses and all they do for their communities. This year, we know that small businesses need our support now more than ever as they navigate, retool and pivot from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Please join the SBA and organizations across the country in supporting your local small businesses by shopping at a small business.

Here’s the link to our local small business advertisers — see how you may be able to shop local this Small Business Saturday!

Once you snag your sales, there is some solid fishing to be had. “At Deep Creek Lake, fishing for walleye has been good on some of the deeper drop-off areas.”
