(Holiday weekend)…For many it will be a 4-day weekend.

The Imperial Irrigation District and the County of Imperial have both announced their non-emergency offices and agencies will be closed both Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, and Friday. Many other businesses and local government offices are following suit. Many retail businesses, of course, will be open for Black Friday. Law Enforcement will be in their Holiday Mode, scheduling DUI Checkpoints and other increased patrol programs. The California Highway Patrol will go into their Maximum Enforcement Program at around 6:00 Wednesday evening and continue until mid night Sunday.
