There were bargains galore at Downtown Westport’s annual Sidewalk Sale Days held on the last weekend of June. The excellent weather, coupled with the Great Duck Race and the annual jUNe Day celebration added to Saturday’s very busy shopping day. Some of the shoe deals brought some big smiles to these ladies. We don’t know if this bulldog made the purchase at Vineyard Vines or he was just guarding his human’s purchase.

Not only were the sidewalks filled with shoppers, there were lots of purchases being made. Several Main St. stores told WestportLocalPress that sales were noticeably better than last year, with more traffic and more purchases being made.

One store which was experiencing their first Sidewalk Sale was very pleased with the number of shoppers visiting their store. The appearance of a 10 week old Golden Retriever puppy stopped many shoppers in their tracks to give some love and get some puppy kisses. Another pup seemed pretty comfortable in his owner’s lap after lunch.

The multi-national brand Rhone which offers men’s and women’s clothes was positioned right on the corner, a short distance from to the very local Two Oh Three, the ifestyle brand celebrating CT life. We noticed more than a few people quizzically looking at this sidewalk “dressing room” which even seemed to draw notice from one four-legged “shopper”. It appeared to be more of an attention getter than an actual dressing room.

They may not have been shopping much, but these dogs seemed more than happy to greet passers-by.
