Susan Cator, executive director of the Darien Chamber of Commerce, which organized the event. "I've been getting really good sales input from everyone," she said. The weather cooperated on Friday and Saturday, which helped. Some stores may be selling off old stock, but plenty bought items just for the sale, added a small markup and "the shoppers walk away feeling great about their little finds." The chamber, along with other participants, has it's own raffle at the event. Guess the number of items in the jar and win a prize.
