Downtown Camas invites the community to a Black Friday special event the day after Thanksgiving, Friday, Nov. 28. To encourage local “small box” shopping, participating merchants will have small boxes of coupons, specials, gifts, and other surprises to choose from.

In addition, free raffle tickets will be offered at each location for a chance to win a merchant holiday basket. Additional raffle tickets will be given for each $10 spent. Participating merchants include: Camas Antiques, Arktana Shoes, 4Ever Growing Kids, Navidi’s Olive Oils, Lizzabeth A, Camas Bike and Sport, Lil’ Dudes and Divas, Deja Vu Camas, Urban Style Spa and Salon and more.

At the end of the evening, shoppers can bring their receipts down to the Liberty Theater. For receipts totaling $75, the theater will give away two free tickets. For more information, visit www.downtowncamas.com.

The Daily Insider is grateful for many things, but most especially for our readers, without whom we wouldn’t exist. In honor of the Thanksgiving tradition, the Insider will not be published tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day, or on Friday, Nov. 28. We will return Monday, Dec. 1. Be sure to check our calendar for upcoming events. We hope you have a wonderful holiday.

Mt. Bachelor will alter its planned operating schedule this week due to an unexpected shift to warm and wet weather through Thanksgiving Day. Recent heavy rain and high humidity have taken a toll on the mountain’s snowpack, and soft and saturated snow conditions are preventing the resort from preparing most of its terrain for public opening. Additional rain and wind are expected late Wednesday through Thursday evening. For more information and the complete list of changes, visit www.mtbachelor.com/media.

The Clark College Music Department presents Bounteous Feast of British Holiday Masterpieces, Thursday, Dec. 4, at 7:30 p.m., in Gaiser Hall, 1933 Fort Vancouver Way, Vancouver.
