Unfortunately the closest yarn shop is One City Market in Rogersville. There's a new art supply store called Arrow Creative Reuse that would be worth checking out!

My new favorite local cafe is Blue Heron Bakery

I don't have any specific recommendations but I think some places will do pre-prepared meals that you can put in the oven on the day of. So then at least the people making your food aren't doing it on Thanksgiving Day.
