Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Borderstan
Everyone deserves to spend some time with friends and family, which is why we’ll be taking tomorrow and Friday off to observe the Thanksgiving holiday.
So, what is there to be thankful for this year? We asked the question on Twitter earlier this week. Here are some of our favorite responses:
@borderstan Thankful for a strong and active community of neighbors who care about Dupont and are working to keep it great!
