We’re ready for you.

pAintEd Annual Holiday open House blAck When the Rolling Stones sang about painting it black, the band was not promoting the yearly shopping frenzy that is Black Friday.

Black, or technically the absence of colour, is not generally viewed as a positive colour in marketing. Except for the Friday following Thanksgiving in the United States, that is.

Traditionally the Friday following the U.S. Thanksgiving is t he day shopper’s line up for a range of low-price deals on everything from toys to major electronics. This year, the American Thanksgiving is on Thurs. Nov. 23, with Black Friday the following day.

The term “Black Friday” was first used way back in 1869 to describe a day the United States stock market crashed. Its modern connotation is quite a bit more upbeat — it’s now used as in marketing to indicate the start of the Christmas holiday shopping season.

Black Friday is probably the biggest shopping day of the year in the U.S. and stores plan many of their major sales for that day.

Ever since the start of the modern Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1924, the Friday after Thanksgiving has been known as the unofficial start to the holiday shopping season.

The name “Black Friday” originated in the 1960s and refers to retailers moving from the “red” in their finances, to “black.” It references the days before computer spreadsheets, when accounting records were kept in written form and red indicated a loss; black a profit.

As retailers began to realize

they could draw big crowds by discounting prices, Black Friday became the day to shop, even better than those last-minute Christmas sales. Some retailers now put their items up for sale on the morning of Thanksgiving, or email online specials to consumers days or weeks before the actual event. The most shopped for items are electronics and popular toys, as these may be the most drastically discounted. However, prices can be slashed on everything from home furnishings to apparel.

In Minot, many stores be opening their doors to consumers the evening of Thanksgiving at 8 p.m., and the majority of other retailers will be opening between midnight and 2 a.m.

Check your favourite store for their special hours.

Black Friday can be a long day, with many retailers opening their doors early to the hordes of people waiting anxiously outside the windows. There are numerous door-buster deals and loss leaders — prices so low the store may not make a profit — to entice shoppers. Often, people will show up for a small number of limited-time door-buster deals, such as large flat-screen televisions or laptops for a few hundred dollars.

Canadian shopping outlets have begun competing with the U.S. tradition by offering their own Black Friday sales. But, there are still advantages to crossing the border to check out different stores and different products.

Go online to visitminot.org/ coupons to check for Black Friday hotel specials.

‘Tis the season! For family and friends! For festivities and fun! Get into the holiday spirit at the annual Downtown Holiday Open House in Minot.

The yearly event begins on Fri. Nov. 24 — otherwise known as Black Friday — at 3 p.m. and offers something for the whole family to enjoy. Black Friday shoppers can take advantage of the specials offered by the downtown merchants or take a break from the shopping while en-

joying the entertainment and great food.

Good, old-fashioned family wagon rides will be available and there will be roasted chestnuts and hot chocolate and cider to keep the chill away.

The highlight of the Open House will be the lighting of the Christmas tree in the middle of Main Street at 6 p.m.

Shoppers will also have the opportunity to get a jump start on their holiday shopping in a warm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere as Down-

town Minot has unique boutiques and awesome gifts just in time for Christmas.

Roger Reich, president Downtown Business & Professional Association, says the event has been taking place for at least 25 years, and is even better following the recent downtown revitalization. “There are new lights, new sidewalks and two new parking garages, where the first hour of parking is free,” he says.

Always welcome, Reich says Ca-

nadians are especially encourage to take advantage of the activities and sales of Black Friday and the holiday season. “Come down and have a great time. The shop owners and vendors are happy to see our friends from Canada come down. It’s always a great time on that day — that Black Friday — to get some deals.” he says.

From Black Friday to traditional holiday treats, there’s something for everyone in downtown Minot this holiday season.

o christmas tree!

Choose the perfect Christmas tree, wreath or centerpiece at the Festival of Trees on Sat., Nov. 18, at the Holiday Inn Riverside.

In the evening, beginning at 5:30 p.m., there will be a live auction of 15 professionally decorated Christmas trees, a silent auction featuring Thanksgiving and Christmas items, a raffle with prizes such as a Medora vacation package, as well as live music, hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar.

Tickets for the evening event are $20 in advance, or $25 at the door. Only 350 tickets will be sold. To buy tickets online, visit www.facebook.com/ FestivalofTreesdakotahopeclinic/.

New this year, the public will get a chance to view the trees and vote on their favourite from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The day-time event is free, but there is a suggested donation of a new baby item for the baby boutique at the Dakota Hope Clinic for the clients going through the Earn While You Learn program. Bring the whole family to view the beautiful trees, wreaths and other items. Coffee, hot chocolate and cookies will be served at no charge. The Donation Station will be there to collect cash donations for Dakota Hope or a new baby item for the Baby Boutique.

Proceeds from the Festival of Trees go to helping Dakota Hope Clinic continue its mission to support women and men dealing with unintended pregnancy. Nadia Smetana, clinic director, says the trees are all donated by local businesses and individuals.

“We’re a not-for profit,” she says. “The services are free, so we have to fund-raise.”

With numerous Christmas items to choose from, and the proceeds going to a charitable organization, it’s the true meaning of Christmas in action.

MAKE IT A MINOT GETAWAY! We’re ready for you. chugging along to Upcoming magical medora EvEnts christmas returns fight hunger Canadian Pacific Railway’s (CP) Holiday Train is once again on track to raise awareness — and funds—for food banks across the United States and Canada.

Since 1999, two special trains — one in the U.S. and one in Canada — have travelled the tracks during the holiday season. Started as an employee initiative, last year thousands of people celebrated with the Holiday Train, raising more than $1.2 million and 250,000 pounds of food for food banks along its route.

The trains chug across the United States and Canada raising money and food for local food banks and helping increase awareness of hunger issues. They travel roughly 10,000 kilometres each year, last year visiting 180 communities.

Jeremy Berry, CP spokesperson, says everyone is looking forward to this year’s Holiday Train, especially Canadians. “It is with great anticipation that we look forward to the 19th version of the CP Holiday Train. Since 1999, the Holiday Train program has raised more than $13 million and four million pounds of food for local food banks. We look forward to seeing everyone out in December, as we conclude our Canada 150 celebrations while raising important funds for food banks this holiday season,” Berry says.

Each Holiday Train is about 1,000 feet long, and is made up of 14 rail cars decorated with

hundreds of thousands of technology-leading LED lights and holiday designs. Each has one modified boxcar that has been transformed into a travelling stage for performers. The concerts are free, but attendees are encouraged to make a donation to the food bank — either a non-perishable food item or a cash donation. Everything raised in each community stays in that community, and CP also makes donations at each stop.

This year, the Holiday Train will stop in Minot on Thurs. Dec. 14 at the Main Street crossing. The train is expected to arrive at 6:30 p.m., with the entertainment taking place from 6:45 to 7:15 p.m. This year, attendees can look forward to performance by Terri Clark, Dallas Smith and Kelly Prescott.

Don’t forget your camera! If you’re visiting the Holiday Train this year, CP encourages you to take photos and enter the Capture the Spirit photo contest. You could win a trip for four aboard the 2018 CP Holiday Train as well as a $1,000 donation to your local food bank.

Additional details about the contest will be available closer to the start of the program. In the meantime, visit http://www.cpr.ca/holidaytrain/photo-contest.

It’s the Christmas spirit and the sense of community all wrapped up into a heart-warming bundle of Yuletide joy. Santa may have to trade in his reindeer and take the train!

We’re ready for you.

Ready for the holidays The holiday season, with its festive events and, of course, Black Friday and other shopping draws, is just around the corner. Before the cold really sets in, it’s the perfect time to enjoy everything offered in Magical City of Minot.

Not only the perfect city for family getaways and couples’ weekends, Minot is also a shopping and tourism mecca for Canadians, especially those from southern Saskatchewan.

Minot has lots to offer, yet even with all the opportunities to sightsee and shop, there will still be room at an inn for visitors. There are currently more than 3,000 hotels/motels and a one-of-a-kind bed and breakfast, that together offer more 3,000 sleeping rooms. Many offer discounts for Canadians.

The easy-to-use hotel availability feature on the Visit Minot website at www.visitmi-

not.org can be big help when planning a trip. Visitors can use the My Map feature of the website to select the places they are interested in visiting and add them all to a personalized map of Minot.

The website also features a link to valuable coupons and information on events happening in Minot. And coupon books and all the information a visitor might need are also available at the Visitors Center.

After spending some time at the recently renovated Dakota Square Mall, with its more than 100 stores, you can head down to Main Street, and Minot’s historic downtown shopping district. There you will find a wide selection of shopping enticements, cooking shops, specialty clothing shops and jewellery stores you won’t find in Canada.

There’s little point in shopping if you can’t take it home with you, and Canadi-

ans staying more than 24 hours can take advantage of some exemptions to the duties levied on imported goods.

The Canada Border Service Agency has a great checklist for travellers at www. cbsa.gc.ca/travel-voyage/checklist-aidememoire-eng.pdf. Check with the Border Service if there are any questions. In general, when travelling to the U.S.: • Personal exemptions do not apply to same-day cross-border shoppers.

• After 24 hours or more, Canadians can take back goods valued at up to $200 (CAN). Alcohol and tobacco cannot be claimed. Goods must be in possession at time of entry to Canada. If the value of the goods exceeds $200 after a 24-hour absence, duty and taxes are applicable on the entire amount of the imported goods.

• After 48 hours or more, Canadians can bring home goods valued up to $800 (CAN)

including alcohol and tobacco, within the prescribed limits set by provincial or territorial authorities. Goods must be in your possession.

• After seven days or more, the maximum is also $800 (CAN) including alcohol and tobacco products. But, goods may be in possession at time of entry to Canada or can be sent later through courier, mail or delivery agency, except alcohol and tobacco, which must be in possession. All the goods will qualify for duty- and tax-free entry if they are declared at the initial return to Canada. To ensure there are no hassles at the border before leaving for Minot, here are a few tips: • Remember to bring proper identification.

Canadian citizens must present one of the following valid Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative-compliant documents when entering the U.S. by land: a valid passport,

NEXUS card, Free and Secure Trade (FAST) card, enhanced driver’s licence (EDL) or enhanced identification card (EIC), or Secure Certificate of Indian Status.

• Visit a Canada Customs office to identify any valuables you may want to take to Minot from home. Items like cameras, jewellery and tablets can be itemized and recorded, so there will be no problems coming back across the border.

•Check with Canada Customs if you plan to change or improve any part of your vehicle. If your vehicle breaks down while in Minot, the repairs must be declared at customs and you may not have to pay the duties. But if you improve your vehicle (in other words, increase its value) Canada Customs law will no longer consider the vehicle Canadian.
