Save on Working Out, Ice Skating and More

Local deals include a sale on antiques and specials on exercise, ice skating, admission to a wildlife park and a donation drive benefiting man's best friend.

Cooler weather brings more than increased heating bills, it also ushers in the sales, so get a jump on the holidays with an antique gifts sale and an exercise special sure to counteract the gluttonous traditions that lie ahead.

Stay active outdoors with either half-off admission to a local outdoor ice skating rink or to a nearby wildlife park, where one can stroll the grounds while viewing animals in a more intimate setting than a traditional zoo.

Or get into the spirit of giving early this year and help out homeless animals of the canine variety with a deal benefiting man’s best friend.
