It’s the biggest Sun-Gazette edition of the year, chock-full of holiday sales, bargains and the year’s largest selection of savings for shoppers.

Once again, the Williamsport Sun-Gazette’s Thanksgiving Day edition, with by far the largest selection of shopping deals around, literally stuffed with holiday savings in preparation of the biggest shopping day of the year, will be made available to customers curbside from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesday.

This year’s edition has nearly three dozen sales flyers and catalogues included inside, said Bernard A. Oravec, Sun-Gazette publisher.

“It’s back by popular demand,” he said, and Sun-Gazette staff will be selling it at the curb along West Fourth Street between the Community Arts Center and the Sun-Gazette building.

Joining the Sun-Gazette employees for this special curbside delivery with a live radio remote broadcast from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. will be Backyard Broadcasting on-air personalities Eric Spencer, of WILQ; Jack Michaels, of OldieZ93; John Finn, of WZXR; and the WILQ Rooster.

The radio celebrities are excited to join the newspaper and help get shoppers off to their pre-Thanksgiving and holiday bargain-hunting with the early-bird distribution.

No matter whether the air is chilled outside, the hot-off-the-press edition will be delivered right to purchasers’ vehicles.

Simply pull up, pay $2 and get a distinct advantage by beating the rush of people heading out to buy the newspaper at stores or at the many Sun-Gazette racks throughout the region.

“You may purchase as many as you like,” Oravec said.

“Everything in the Thanksgiving edition is bigger than ever,” he said.

Despite the size and number of holiday sales flyers packed inside, the price of the Sun-Gazette Thanksgiving edition has not been raised this last year, he said.

“We find that the Thanksgiving edition is a holiday tradition with thousands of families in our region,” Oravec said. “Many holiday shoppers plan their shopping experience around the bargains they find in the Sun-Gazette, and we are pleased and proud to be a part of that tradition.”

The best way to be guaranteed a holiday edition is to be a home subscriber; however, the newspaper also will be available in limited quantities at area retail locations.

“We will also have early-bird papers available at Wegmans, Weis on Lycoming Creek Road and Giant in Williamsport starting around 7 p.m. Wednesday night,” the publisher said.

“Because of the popularity of our Thanksgiving edition, we’ve increased the number of copies to be made available this year,” Oravec added. “Our staff will be actively restocking the locations and, because there are so many local shoppers picking up the paper, the Sun-Gazette employees are prepared to assist customers on their shopping adventure.

“Occasionally, there may be locations where the edition sells out due to the fact that we have a limited amount of sales flyers, and when they are gone, they are gone,” Oravec said.

So don’t be left out in the cold or without this popular and practical edition.

Be sure to stop by the West Fourth Street curbside pickup and say hello to the newspaper staff and on-air personalities, and consider contacting the Sun-Gazette circulation department to become a home subscriber.

Happy Thanksgiving, and happy shopping.
