With so many folks lined up in the East Blackstock Road Lowe’s parking lot last Wednesday, December 23, it certainly had the look of pre-Christmas shopping specials.
And just like those “door-busting deals” offered throughout the Christmas shopping season, the folks had been there a long time, some since before dawn, while others had been up the whole night.
They weren’t awaiting the arrival of Zhu Zhu pets or the Nintendo Wii; they were awaiting a far more special gift, the return of their loved ones from National Guard training in Wisconsin.
It made for a very special Christmas and it came as a surprise because the unit wasn’t originally scheduled to be home for the holidays before shipping out to Afghanistan in January.
For the rest of the story, see this week’s Boiling Springs Sentry.
