It's a great day -- a great week -- to be an American.
Democracy lives. We are free. And so are the doughnuts!
Today being Election Day, there are a few special promotions to mention. Businesses know we could use a sweet treat or a cool drink (even if it's nonalcoholic) after this sleazy political cycle.
And Veterans Day is Friday, so there are plenty of deals designed to show appreciation to those who have kept our country free. Allow us to chime in that we, too, salute you. Thank you for the sacrifices you and your families have made!
These lists are not all-inclusive, but we want them to be as complete as possible. If you discover additional national or local deals, email me and we'll add them to our Facebook page (facebook.com/adgstyle). Note: Always check with businesses to make sure your desired location is participating.
