Outdoor Furniture Sales Going On Now

Outdoor Furniture Sales Going On Now
© Winston Furniture - www.winstonfurniture.com
Most stores selling outdoor furniture have been going through slow sales since the housing slump began. Most consumers have cut down on purchases overall, but one thing they significantly slashed was spending on non-essential furniture.

As a result of slow sales this summer, most furniture retailers are offering discounts as high as 65 percent. Home Depot... for example, gives price cuts on select items as going up to 25 per cent until August 13. Target is selling four-piece patio wicker sets for as low as $209, 65 per cent below the regular price. Other stores that have posted deep discounts for outdoor furniture include Lowe's and Wal-Mart, which usually have large inventories for these items.

Other outdoor items are also being sold with huge discounts. Inflatable pools, swing sets and grills are being sold at 15 per cent discounts by stores like eToys.com and Wal-Mart.

If you love fishing then head to Kentucky on the weekend of June 5 and 6 as the authorities have declared it as a Free Fishing Weekend and there will be no need to get license for Kentucky waters.

Another good thing is that you can take your family along as a number of Kentucky State parks will be holding events for kids where you could spend a night at the lodge, cottage or campground and have fun at their restaurants.

A number of parks offer marinas where you can rent out a boat and head out for a fishing adventure. Also children under the age of sixteen years are not required to get a fishing license in Kentucky. If you would like to get more information on Kentucky State Parks, check their website.

Seen that? - HIGH SIERRA MUSIC FESTIVAL 2005: A Rookie's Persepctive Part One
Considering the fact that I was a virgin at the 2005 High Sierra music festival held annually at the fairgrounds in Quincy, California over Fourth of July weekend, you would think that I might be a bit overwhelmed by the experience.

HIGH SIERRA MUSIC FESTIVAL 2005: A Rookie's Perspective Part Two The Outdoor Weblog

There are not a lot of sober people at the show either, if that's your gig. I had to comfort a few lost souls each night who were completely lost, not only directions-wise, but also lost in their own heads.

Another very notable set was Free Peoples on the Americana stage on opening night as dusk settled in slowly to the high ridges of the pine covered mountains, surrounding the festival with a backdrop of massive oxygen production. They are a Bay Area band that fuses bluegrass with blues and a touch of jam extension. I had just finished my day of giving away goodness at the NG booth and [...] Read More
