(File Photo) Newspaper employees sell holiday ad bundles prior to Thanksgiving in 2023 in the Parkersburg News and Sentinel parking lot.

The News and Sentinel and The Marietta Times will once again be offering ad bundles – featuring inserts from both papers’ Wednesday editions showcasing retailers’ deals to kick off the holiday shopping season – for $5 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday in the side parking lot of the newspaper building at 519 Juliana St. in downtown Parkersburg. The ads will be included in Wednesday’s editions, but those who don’t subscribe or want to pick up extras can do so during that time.
