MILLBROOK — The annual Millbrook Neighborhood Spring Sale will be bursting with bargains and neighborliness on Saturday, April 20 and Sunday, April 21, as a vast array of vendors and activities will be dotted along Franklin Avenue and its environs.
The event will happen rain or shine throughout the town’s commercial spaces and beyond. Hours on both days are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The advantage is that visitors can park once and explore.
The sale has already drawn 30 vendors, some of whom will be found in more than one location, for maximum visibility. In every location, though, there will be abundant enthusiasm and lots of interesting things to see and experience.
Grace Church on Franklin Avenue is offering their annual “Whale of a Sale,” likely to be large with huge bargains.
Lively music along Franklin Avenue will be provided by Grampa Joe’s Washboard Band, on Saturday between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.
Merritt Bookstore on Front Street will feature a book launch and signing by author Michael Korda, formerly editor-in-chief at Simon and Schuster, introducing his latest work, “Muse of Fire.” That event will occur on Saturday, between 2:30 and 4 p.m. at the bookstore.
For car buffs, the first annual car show, titled “Angels of Light,” will be welcoming visitors on the Village Green on Saturday between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Brit Breads will be at an as-yet undisclosed location along Franklin Avenue, although it should be hard to miss them as they dispense sausage rolls, lemon cake, Danish pastries, and their specialty Raclette cheese on sourdough.
Soaps and aromatics by Sandra will offer specialty soaps and candles.
