1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: We're still weeks away from the holidays, but hundreds of

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: people are out at North Quincy High School to make

3
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: sure they're on top of their gifts. This year, White

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: Pine Markets is hosting its annual holiday shopping expo in

5
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: the cafeteria and gym with over one hundred local vendors.

6
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: And despite the fact it's easier than ever to just

7
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: order gifts online, buying local seems to be at the

8
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: top of people's wish list this year.

9
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 2: Just a different way to shop this year, instead of

10
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 2: ordering from all the big corporate websites and all that.

11
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 3: It's always good to support local and I again find

12
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 3: it much more meaningful to come and pick something out

13
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 3: that is specific to someone instead of just buying the

14
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 3: same old things that no one needs. And it's much

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 3: more fun.

16
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: But this market here isn't just giving back to local businesses.

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: The event is also fundraising to help students at North

18
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: Quincy High and that was a draw for Amy.

19
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,319
Speaker 4: My son will be going to this high school. So

20
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 4: it's always good to come and see what you know,

21
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 4: the band is doing, what the boosters are doing, all

22
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 4: that good stuff from Quincy.
