The long Thanksgiving weekend is very close and if you're like me, you can't wait for that moment when the aroma of turkey and gravy fills your house.  It will be here before you know it, turkey lovers. If you don't have a bird in the freezer yet, you might want to take advantage of the deep discounts on frozen turkey's this week at grocery stores in the Southern Tier.  Sale prices are also good for the stuffing, cranberries and all the trimmings.

If you're planning on traveling Thanksgiving week, you will not be alone by any means.  AAA is expecting 43.5 million Americans to travel at least 50 miles from home between Wednesday, November 23 and Sunday, November 27 --- the highest travel numbers since 2007.

3.7 million Americans plan to travel by air --also more than last year.  If you haven't yet entered for a chance to win a $300 Airline Gift Card, you can enter by clicking HERE.  There are also a number of new items you can win at 981TheHawk.com, under "Win Stuff".
