Encouraging shoppers to buy locally and avoid the crowded malls and "big box" sales this Black Friday, a group of business owners in Wickford is teaming up for the "Wickford Black Friday Gift Fair", from 6am to noon, on Friday, November 26th. Several locations, including Bagelz, Voila, Beauty & The Bath and The Wickford Collection, are participating. Bagelz Wickford is the hub of the event, offering shoppers a free small coffee with the purchase of any food item, and hosting seated chair massages and gift wrapping, for a donation to a local charity. Participating retailers will also be giving raffle tickets for every $25 spent in their store before noon on Black Friday. For updates and more info, visit "Shop Wickford" on Facebook.
