Thank You, Local News!

And now, the news in reviews...

Your dreams make me sad Cheryl Hintze
Soccer moms are taking to the parking lots to celebrate the opening of a new Target in Sun Prairie. Little do they know, there are already 3 Targets in Madison.

Our very own NBC15.com investigates:

Target Stores are bucking the bad economy and opening new locations across the country including bringing nearly 200 jobs to the Madison area.

Taking a cue from Badger Saturdays, a group of Sun Prairie mothers are partying in anticipation. It is a big day at the new Target in Sun Prairie but long before this very average store opening hits, the parking lot is playing host to a quite unique party. It is the furthest you can get from a men's tailgate party. No beer guzzling or burping here, this one is women only.

...

It is a tent and table that have seen a lot of tailgating action for things like Badger Games but never has a group pulled out all the stops like this for a department store. Kostelnik says, "I was handing out the flyer and people were laughing at me so yeah, I think they thought we were crazy." Close to two dozen women flow in and out, many of them stay at home moms just waiting for the doors to open.

Tailgater Cheryl Hintze says, "I'm so excited. To have shopping within two miles of my home is a dream."

...

At a party like this how could you not? When all is said and done the Sun Prairie store will employee 180 people.
