Crestline to host 4th annual Tent Sale

Crestline Village is gearing up to bring the community outdoors for its annual Tent Sale.

As part of the Aug. 6 event, now in its fourth year, the tent sale will feature trunk shows and an assortment of other special activities.

The event will be in and around the shops and restaurants of Crestline Village from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mountain Brook Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Suzan Doidge said the event started four years ago as a way to help the community increase its summertime sales. Retailers, Doidge said, tend to find that summertime is a tough time for business. Like Mountain Brook Village’s Market Day, the Crestline Village Market Day showcases the area’s businesses, restaurants and artists through street sales and provides an opportunity for merchants to clear their warm-weather inventory. 

Past year’s tent sales have included musical performances, including one by the Mountain Brook High School band. Last year, the high school’s football team helped create a “pep-rally-like” atmosphere. The event also will come in time to welcome the new school year. Doidge said.
