Super Saturday Deals 2010

Super Saturday Deals 2010 - Forget Black Friday. KELOLAND retailers are hoping Saturday is the busiest shopping day of the year. Crowds filled the Empire Mall in Sioux Falls on super Saturday.

"The weather is cooperating and it's getting close to Christmas," said Vendor Susan Moret.

This is Moret's fourth year selling kiosk candy. She says business has been steady coming into the weekend.

People know See's Candy, so they stop by. It isn't hard to sell," Moret said.

And stores don't seem to be having a problem selling either. Empire Mall officials say so far business is trending up, even with a few bumps from Mother Nature.

"It's Super Saturday, so it's the last Saturday before Christmas. So we know it's going to be big because of that combined with people who didn't get here last weekend. We're predicting it's going to be huge," said Empire Mall Marketing Manager Chrissy Spoo.

Last week's storm did put a damper on many people's Christmas shopping plans. It's forced them to last-minute shopper status. They didn't seem to mind though many people did come early to be the crowds.

"We came right off 41st Street and went to Target. It wasn't bad, but we were here at 8 this morning though," said Erin Reinicke, who drove from madison to take in the deals. She planned to leave before the halls filled up even more.

"We know a lot of people did their big Black Friday sale, held off for a couple of weeks and are now doing huge discounts all over the mall this weekend," Spoo said.

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone - Police say a man on a Southwest Airlines flight from Las Vegas punched a teenager who refused to turn off his iPhone as the plane approached the Boise airport. Officers arrested 68-year-old Russell E. Miller, of Boise, on suspicion of misdemeanor battery Tuesday. He has been released from jail on bond. Witnesses told police the 15-year-old was playing games and listening to music on his cell phone when flight attendants instructed passengers to turn off their electronic devices because the plane was landing. Witnesses told police that when the teen didn't respond, Miller got angry and punched the boy in the arm. Miller says he "tapped" the teen on the shoulder after he refused to turn off the phone. He told the Idaho Statesman that he may have "overreacted," but that he did not punch the teen. Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone
