The biggest shopping day of the year is just around the corner, and Stones River Mall wants to help fill your Christmas stockings!

As part of its Black Friday festivities, Stones River Mall will award lucky shoppers more than $5,000 in prizes and gift cards during the Be Present to Win Giveaway on Friday, Nov. 28.

Shoppers are invited to register for the giveaway, beginning at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, near the Children's Play Area in front of JCPenney.

Drawings will be held every 15 minutes from 10 a.m. to noon on Black Friday. Entrants must be present to win and at least 18 years old to register.

"Our Be Present to Win Giveaway was a huge hit last year with shoppers taking home dozens of fantastic prizes," explains Melinda Noblitt, marketing manager for Stones River Mall. "This year, we have expanded the promotion as a way to thank our shoppers for supporting our retailers throughout the holiday season."

In addition retailer gift cards ranging from $100 to $250, shoppers can enter to win His & Hers fragrance baskets from Dillard's, a washer and dryer set from Sears, and Keurig from JCPenney.

To better serve shoppers looking for great deals this holiday, Stones River Mall will open from 6 p.m. to midnight on Thanksgiving Day and 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Black Friday.

"Because many retailers have opted to remain open overnight, Stones River Mall doors will remain open, as well," Noblitt explained. "However, retailers are not required to stay open, and we encourage shoppers to contact the stores and restaurants directly to inquire about hours."

She continued, "JCPenney will open at 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, followed by Sears at 6 p.m. Both retailers will remain open through Black Friday. Dillard's will be closed on Thanksgiving Day and will reopen at 8 a.m. on Black Friday."

Santa's Prize Patrol will be out and about surprising shoppers with free retailer gift cards throughout the week. And complimentary coffee will be available to shoppers throughout the Mall on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday, while supplies last.

Shoptimum Rewards returns on Dec. 1 just in time gift-buying.
