The streets of downtown Highland Park were crowded with shoppers this past weekend to cruise the sidewalks full of sales.
Sponsored by the Highland Park Chamber of Commerce, the event has been happening for the past four decades. This was its 38th year. Julie Silverman, a resident visiting the sale on Sunday, said, "I've been coming to the sidewalk sale since I was in high school. Every year we look forward to it."

Ginny Glasner, Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce, stated, "It's an event that the community and merchants really look forward to. The Chamber gets phone calls all year long from people asking when is the sidewalk sale. It's just a wonderful event in a fabulous community."
