Thanksgiving edition of The Dispatch arriving early

The Thanksgiving edition of The Dispatch will be a special paper packed full of stories and photos to usher in the holidays, as well as advertisements for holiday bargains ahead of the full-tilt shopping spree that starts with Black Friday specials.

The Thanksgiving paper will be on newsstands early and delivered to subscribers early to allow readers to get a jump on the holiday and to allow the majority of employees to spend the day with their families.

Carriers who will be out early Wednesday to delivery that day's paper to homes and newsstands will return Wednesday afternoon with the Thanksgiving edition.
