AUGUST 7

Middleburg's town-wide sidewalk sale will be held this year on Saturday and Sunday, August 8-9. Books & Crannies will have a wide selection of books at half-price, and many stores in town will have similar--or even bigger--discounts on everything from shoes to children's clothes to pottery to food.

Deals in our other great shops include: WhiteBench will offer 75% off selected merchandise, Lou Lou will offer some of their favorite trinkets at reduced prices, Tully Rector will have dramatically reduced prices as well as their popular shoe sale and Home Farm will be offering delicious tastes and sales in this unique, nostalgic shop. Three Crowns is slashing prices throughout the store and Salamander Touch will have 30% off Mistral products. The Magic Wardrobe will offer 40% to 70% off fall and spring inventory, and the Fun Shop, at the west end of the village, will have great discounts on many treasures in the store, which is our unique version of a traditional department store.

The Middleburg branch of Rappahannock National Bank is sponsoring the summer sidewalk sale, and the branch at Pendleton and Washington Streets will host a special wine tasting with Three Fox Vineyards.

Participating stores and restaurants will have colorful balloons outside their stores to indicate participation in the sale.
