Bargains a-plenty

Published on: 8/28/2009

 The temperature dipped below the 70 degree mark this week, which means...it's time to start thinking about holiday shopping!  Think I'm nuts?  I'll bet retailers have holiday items up in four weeks, six tops.  Until then, Lake Country is offering a bargain bonanza this weekend, so check out these events for early holiday gifts:

  • The entire community of Dousman is having a rummage sale 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.  Information booklets are available at the Bullfrog Station on Main Street.
  • Exceptional finds can sometimes be found at church-sponsored flea markets and rummage sales.  Kettle Moraine United Presbyterian Church in Stone Bank and Peace Lutheran Church in Sussex are hosting flea markets on Saturday, and St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Dousman is participating in the community-wide rummage sale.
  • The Delafield Chamber of Commerce is offering a selection of literary deals at its weekly used book sale in conjunction with the Saturday farmers market.
