Berlin’s Annual SIDEWALK SALE – bargains vs. beach!
Friday morning dawned cool and clear…promising what is termed locally as a perfect “beach day” in nearby Ocean City MD (7 short miles east). However, it was a “no brainer” choice for many as today also marks the beginning of the Annual three-day, SIDEWALK SALE held on Main Street in downtown historic Berlin MD. (see the accompanying photos) Each year local town merchants put aside the odds and ends, overstocks and such that accumulate during the seasons and hold a big street party for shoppers at the end of summer! Certainly a great time to stock up on some grand gifts for the holidays – a remembrance for a relative or 
even snag something for your own closet – all obtained at real bargain prices! Authentic Vera Bradley brand handbags, Crabtree & Evelyn lotions and potions and “Fresh Produce” summer-wear were all piled high in front of Victorian Charm. Noticed some nice serving pieces in front of Abigails, dynamite clothing and accessories were going for up to 70% off at Bruder Hill and down the street, MR Ducks had a huge selection of tees and sweatshirts going for 
rock bottom prices. Even Cody’s Christmas Shop had some pre-season goodies displayed. Noticed too the tables being readied in front of the Atlantic Hotel for weary shoppers in need of refreshment! Doing double duty – other town merchants and local galleries were gearing up for the regular monthly 2nd Friday celebration – tonight’s “Arts Stroll” that begins at 6 pm! Notwithstanding, there are two days remaining for the Sidewalk Sale in Berlin this year…stop by – you’ll really be glad you did! And, remember to mark your calendar for next year – bargains vs. beach – it’s a “no brainer”! (Click to enlarge any photo!)
