With the holiday shopping season looming, I'd like again to talk to folks who plan to shop Emporia for their gifts.
I'm especially interested in your stories of hidden treasures, the finds that surprised you. For me, it happened a few years back when I decided to buy Alex an Indianapolis Colts license tag for his car. Given that we live in the middle of Chiefs territory, I didn't hold out hope that I'd find it locally and my brilliant idea hit too close to Christmas for a trip out of town or shipping from an Internet order.
Then I walked into AKA Marketing in downtown Emporia and become one happy Santa Mom.
