Lebanon
Ohio's Old Fashioned Bargain Days
When: July 23rd - 25th, 2009
(Thursday thru Saturday)
Where: Downtown Lebanon, Ohio
Good Old Days in Lebanon with
Old Fashioned Bargain Days
and
the Warren County Fair
One of the longest running merchant sponsored events in Lebanon, Ohio
is the annual Old Fashioned Bargain Days & Sidewalk Sale. Downtown
merchants markdown their spring and summer merchandise and it’s
a great time to pick up end of season bargains, shop early for Christmas
or just enjoy browsing. This year’s event begins Thursday, July
23 and runs through Saturday July 25th.
Most shops are open by 10:00 am and close at 5:00. Shops will
display markdown items and bargain merchandise on the sidewalks of the
historic downtown area. Many will also have special deals inside as well.
Some of the restaurants will offer Sidewalk Sale menu items.
This is the 53rd year Lebanon has planned the Old Fashioned Bargain
Days. Lebanon ’s historic downtown is the home to more than one
business with a long time Lebanon address. The Golden
Lamb has been operating
there since 1803. The Fella Bella Shop since 1944. The Village
Ice Cream Parlor is celebrating their 40th anniversary. The Lebanon merchants are
inviting all to come and shop for bargains on our brick sidewalks and
enjoy the atmosphere of a great small town downtown.
Traditionally folks like to combine Old Fashioned Bargain Days with
a trip to the Warren County
Fair. The Warren County Fair (July 20 -25)
has been a fixture of a kid’s summer fun for over 150 years. Summer
just wouldn’t
be complete without a ride on the fancy Carrousel or Ferris wheel. And
even the biggest health food nut can’t resist deep fried onion
rings, funnel cakes and cotton candy.
As an added attraction this year, the Warren
County History Center will
offer free admission to its museum to a child with each paid adult admission.
That’s a $3.50 savings – a real old fashioned bargain. The
History Center is offering a Scavenger Hunt contest with the first prize
being a $20.00 gift certificate to the any downtown merchant.
So make a day of it. Have lunch in downtown Lebanon , shop the Bargain
Days sale, and then head for the Warren County Fair. It’s good
old fashioned fun for the whole family. This is a Lebanon tradition you
won't want to miss!
