History Lesson
Bargain hunting is an opportunity for shoppers to find rare, one-of-a-kind, samples and limited run clothing, furnishings and more. Shoppers can expect to see apparel, art supplies, home and garden furnishings, local designs, unique fashions, premium denim, handmade hats, and other fabulous accessories all at discount and clearance prices.
Bargain Hunting is a bi-annual sale hosted by many locally owned boutiques and artists who sell their high quality wares at rock bottom prices. This sale happens in conjunction with Super Bowl Sunday and also in the Summer. Previously held at the McMenamin’s Kennedy School, there has been such a response by other boutiques and artist who want to participate in this sale that the next sale will be held at the Crystal Ballroom to accommodate a larger number of vendors.
This sale is organized by:
Angie Heiney of Frock
Jen Neitzel of Knot Ugly and DIY Lounge
Julz Nally of Handmade Julz
