By David F. Rooney The Spring Sale staged by the Chamber of Commerce couldn’t have been held under better conditions.

Here are a few photos from the event that I think you’ll enjoy seeing: Saturday’s gorgeous weather plus a hole lot of reasons to wander downtown mad for an exciting and successful Spring Sidewalk sale. The corner of Mackenzie and Third was an especially advantageous place to have lunch and people watch. David F.
