The holiday shopping season is upon us. Here is an abbreviated guide of where to go in the Kenosha Area to take care of everyone on your gift list. Whether you come shopping for the day or make it an overnight getaway, enjoy!
MIDNIGHT MADNESS!
Don’t forget, after your Thanksgiving feast, put on your pajamas and head to Prime Outlets – Pleasant Prairie for Midnight Madness. You could win a big shopping spree!
