Black Friday Madness Galena Style!

For those of you who have come to Galena or live here know that we we don't really have any shopping malls here. But we do have something that is sometimes just as good..... the Dump! You never know what kind of treasure you might find! Ping pong tables, almost new Carhatt jackets or pants, Washing machine pedestals, bicycles, scooters, you just never know! Any one who visits or comes to Galena, usually gets a tour to the "mall" and we even have a awesome song written about it by our local and amazing song writer Karrie Pavish Anderson which you can buy a copy of her new CD that just came out at http://www.karriepavishanderson.com/ her Mall song is on that CD and is so fun! So check it out! But the Mall is always an adventure. You sometimes find bears there as well as some other interesting things! We never really call it the dump but always say "hey we are running to the mall".  It is just the way of life out here! And it is Great!

Well this week was Thanksgiving and then the event that you could not miss if you ever turned on the TV. Black Friday! Ever advertisement told of what you could get if you went at O'dark thirty and beat your neighbor down. I hate the amount of materialism that has come into our culture and into a holiday where we just spent the day saying thank you for all the blessings in our life, now lets run to the stores and GET MORE MORE MORE!! . I mean WHO REALLY needs 8, 100 inch TV's? I mean REALLY! But since we are not able to go shopping we figured we would go out to our mall and have a "Galena Style" Black Friday Madness. It was a good laugh! It turned out fun, at least for the parents. The kids were clueless of why were were all lining up to take a picture at our mall. But it was Classic! it was -10 degrees but Classic all the same! There was some pushing and shoving but it was all for a good laugh!  This is what life is about! Having fun with friends JUST so we can have a laugh! So here is our Galena Style Black Friday Madness!
