Northside Notes: Used Goods

Sometimes I wonder if my son at age 2 has any clothes bought new. He grows too fast and so many deals are available secondhand. Some friends of mine had a sale on Hwy 124 and the Fairgrounds hosted a child consignment sale in an the Creative Arts Building (Expo Hall C).

More Outside Vending on ‘Crazy’ Thursday

The outside vending is not so crazy this year, but a few more sales popped up today: the usual Thursday Farmers Market, the Senior Center’s Sale, Leinie’s Lodge t-shirt sale, and a kid’s consignment sale at the Fairgrounds.

Nightmare Roofing Job

One of the most intricate rooflines in Chippewa Falls is being worked on at First Presbyterian Church.

Construction on Pumphouse Road

Pumphouse Road in the Flats was already stripped of pavement today and will be closed between Grady and Scheidler starting Thursday.

Street Vendors Are Back

A few outdoor sales are being set up for the traditional Crazy Days weekend in Chippewa Falls. Leinenkugels will be selling t-shirts Thu-Sat and thrift sales are already happening on the East and North sides of Chippewa with many more listed on Craigslist for Thu-Fri. The Pure Water Days parade is cancelled but races are planned for the 8th.
