WACONIA, Minn. — When hunters head out in blaze orange for the deer opener on Saturday, a crowd will also be in blaze orange, hitting the streets of Waconia.
It's the 17th annual D.E.A.R. event.
D.E.A.R. stands for Divas Enjoying Awesome Retail.
The event offers deals to shoppers and extras for those who wear their orange.
"Shopping local is all about keeping the Waconia community thriving," said Christine Fenner, Waconia Chamber president in a news release. "Every time you support a local business, you're helping to make our town even better. D.E.A.R. Day is the perfect excuse to get together with friends, shop locally for the holidays, and show some love to our community."
