Reps estimated between 900 and 1,100 shoppers came in on the first day.

Some came from as far away as Hermiston and many came early.
"My mom, she was psyching us out and said it was going to be competitive shopping but she was joking," Morgan Erickson said.
"Yeah, and elbowing!" twin sister Calloway Erickson said. "We thought it was going to be crazy insane but it's not as bad as we thought so were like 'yeah!"
