Be sure your calendar is marked for OWL Day, this coming Saturday, Sept. 13!

Sales. If you are interested in hosting a sale, there’s still time to get your ad posted on our website. Check out the Garage and Art Sales tab for details. There are 9 sales so far and we welcome more. Ads can be posted to the website until Friday.

Picnic. This year we’re trying out an earlier time span: 5 – 8 p.m., so don’t be late! Same great location (7th and Mississippi) and same great food and drink. As usual, OWLA will provide burgers and dogs, and there will be tables for potluck sides and desserts.

A few more volunteers are needed to help the event run smoothly– hosts, table decorators, and the all-important clean-up crew.  Please paste this link: http://bit.ly/OWLParty to sign up.  Or you can email Richard Andrade at richard@barristerbooks.com.  

In case you are wondering, city utilities staff have assured us that the work on that part of Mississippi St. will be completed by Sept. 13 – so let the party begin, and we’ll see you there!
