Here's something fun to do this holiday season that will give you a chance to win several prizes from local businesses stretching from Cooperstown to Unadilla.

Remember when Downtown Oneonta was the place to be for shopping on Thursday evening?  Maybe that was too long ago for you to remember but when I was a kid, Main Street in Oneonta was bustling with shoppers on Thursday evenings.  It was a chance to pick up items after work at your favorite retailers...

As you may have heard on your radio, The Southside Mall in Oneonta will not be open on Thanksgiving Day (exception of large retailers), despite a national trend in the last couple of years for retailers to be open on Thanksgiving to increase holiday sales figures.

Thanks to Michele Barry, we have enjoyed The Green Toad Bookstore in Downtown Oneonta for six years now and she has decided to pursue other interests and sell the business to Milford's well known "Furniture Doctor", Jim Havener.

Saturday, November 15th from 8am to 4pm, the WZOZ radio airwaves will be dedicated to giving you an opportunity to pick up some real bargains for yourself or as holiday gifts.

As the holidays approach you'll discover opportunities to shop for gifts while helping the local economy and various groups who are fundraising, like the Laurens Central School French Club.

I don't know if you've noticed but with new businesses, music, art and culture thriving in Oneonta, there has been an increasing need to keep track of it all in one place.

The Green Earth at 4 Market Street in Oneonta is hosting the 2nd Annual Fair Trade Fiesta Sales Event to support grassroots development and human rights in a fun way.

If you love shopping, then the Greater Plains PTO "Fabulous Shopping Extravaganza" event is for you.

If you've never been to the Taste of the Catskills event in Delhi, then this year is one not to miss. I've been attending this fun, family event for many years with my family and really enjoy it.
