Merchants want to make room for their fall inventory, so they’re moving their summer merchandise out on the sidewalk. Browse through the racks and shelves and load up without spending a fortune. Clothes, shoes, art, jewelry, home furnishings- it’s all on sale from your friendly Ludington businesses.
