The tables go out and the merchants go to town, putting out any items they want, said Laurie Kokones, the chamber's executive director.

Weather permitting the event will be outside; if  it's raining, well, it'll be inside. Balloons will designate who's in.

This is the last sidewalk sale of the year; it is an event that businesses count on to increase visibility, traffic and sales, Kokones said.
