Next Sat. and Sun. the 12th and 13th is the

Second Annual Niles Fling. 

 What is it you ask..........well several stores in Niles are going to have SALES, DISCOUNTS, or DRAWINGS those two days.

 

If you make a purchase in any of the participating stores that weekend you'll be entered in a drawing for a $100.00 Gift Certificate that Niles Main Street Assoc. is giving away.

 
The girls at MY FRIENDS AND I will be doing their own thing in their booths. For instance  Space #1 will have lots of items on SALE.

 Also we will be doing a drawing for two $25.00 Gift Certificates.

 Participating stores will have a Spring Fling poster in their window so look for it.
