Last minute shoppers

Shoppers were in a holiday mood Saturday, December 18, as they filled the area outlet malls. The Tanger Outlet mall in Sevierville was so crowded that a police officer had to direct traffic within the outlet mall itself. The parking lot held cars from many states. Old and young alike laughed and smiled to one another as they did last minute shopping. Rumor has it that even old Saint Nick was out looking for that special toy and doll that someone very special has told him they wanted.
