ELKHART -- The village of
Elkhart's Needs and Goals organization will host its annual flower and plant
sale on Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 8 to 11 a.m. in the
Elkhart Village Hall on Gov. Oglesby Street downtown. Flowers of all kinds
will be available for purchase. |
NAG is a not-for-profit organization
that supports the needs of Elkhart residents and special projects,
such as Elkhart Library's recent landscaping project.
In addition to the flower sale,
Elkhart will host garage and group sales throughout the weekend. The
Methodist Church on Gillett Street is sponsoring a large "basement
sale." Birdsong Books and Vintage Shop, downtown at 111 Gov. Oglesby
St., is planning a sidewalk sale. Multiple homes will host garage
and group sales. Sale times are Friday from 4 to 8 p.m. and Saturday
from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Maps for the garage and group sales
will be available at Hudson's Talk of the Town, 115 Gov. Oglesby
St.; at the first sale home, 330 Kennedy Road; and at the NAG plant
sale in the Village Hall.
Hudson's Talk of the Town will have
a fish fry dinner (dine in or carry out) available on Friday from 5
to 8 p.m. for bargain hunters who are hungry following a day of
shopping in the village.
Additional parking for the events
is across from the Village Hall on Gov. Oglesby Street. More
information can be found on Facebook at "The Village of Elkhart, IL
– Your Special Event Destination."

Birdsong Books and Vintage in the
historic downtown offers an eclectic mix of books, linens, vintage
clothes, purses, jewelry, paper ephemera, kitchenware and art.
Birdsong is a rebirth of Nellie's Café, for years an Elkhart
institution, built in 1914. The shop has retained the marble soda
fountain counter from Nellie's and the mirrored wall piece behind it
that features lighted stained-glass windows, as well as two café
booths.
The quaint village of Elkhart
offers unique businesses and quality services in restored
structures. Elkhart is located less than a mile from Interstate 55
at Exit 115 and right off old Route 66. Settled in 1855, the
picturesque early 1900s-style downtown makes Elkhart one of a kind.
Rich in history and natural beauty, Elkhart is famous for its
unusual landscape -- a tree-covered hill that rises 777 feet above
sea level, surrounded by a horizon of flat Illinois prairie land. |
