It's like being in a Christmas movie. Except it's real. The merchants of the Montrose Shopping Park have an exciting Thanksgiving weekend planned. Festivities begin November 26 with WHITE FRIDAY, the small town answer to Black Friday. Many merchants white out sales tax that day. Look for the white snowflake sign in their window.
