STONE HARBOR — The 33rd annual Stone Harbor Merchants’ Day Sidewalk Sale, held Aug. 25, drew large crowds, as the event has always done.
This year’s event, hosted by the Stone Harbor Chamber of Commerce, was held on what was reportedly one of the season’s hottest days, but bargain-hunting shoppers didn’t seem to mind as they went from rack to rack and table to table, seeking just the right-priced item.
