Fort Scott Sidewalk Sale: Parking Spots Were Difficult to Find
It was difficult to find a parking spot on Main Street in downtown Fort Scott on Saturday.
The Fort Scott Chamber of Commerce hosted the Merchant Madness Sidewalk Sale and invited shoppers to come shopping.
The mild weather and recent reopening of businesses during the COVID 19 pandemic made for a perfect day to go shopping.
Another Merchant Sale And Town-Wide Garage Sale
Another town-wide sale is coming soon and this time includes all those who want to clean out closets and garages.
On June 12-13 retailers will be celebrating National Flag Week, according to a press release from the Fort Scott Chamber of Commerce.
With any purchase, shoppers will receive a souvenir American Flag and also they can fill out a Trivia Card to enter them into a drawing for $50 Chamber Of Commerce Bucks.
Also on that weekend of June 12-13, there will be a Spring Town-Wide Garage Sale.
To register one’s sale which will be printed on a garage sale map, call the Fort Scott Chamber of Commerce at 620. 223.3566. Sellers may also sign up at Bids & Dibs, 108 Scott Ave.
The cost is $10 to be added to the map.
All customers are to use hand sanitizer at every yard sale before touching merchandise and homeowner should have this available, also practice social distancing of being 6-feet apart, according to the press release.

The weather looks good for Saturday, a perfect day to get out and shop Fort Scott.
This Saturday, May 30, eleven retail stores have signed up to be a part of the Merchant Madness Sidewalk Sale, hosted by the Fort Scott Chamber of Commerce.
The event will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and participating stores will be marked with purple balloons, according to Rita Schroeder, the Chamber’s administrative assistant.
Those who have signed up: include Bids & Dibs, Books & Grannies (inside), Heidrick’s True Value/Nancy’s Gift Corner, Fort Scott Gun & Pawn, Hedgehog.INK (inside), J & W Sports Shop, Main St. Gallery & Gifts, Mayco Ace Hardware, Ruddick’s Furniture, Sunshine Boutique, Iron Star (inside) and Treasure Hunt Flea Market.
In light of the COVID 19 Pandemic, most businesses will have hand sanitizer available before touching items in the sale.
However, bringing one’s own sanitizer is a good option while shopping.
Hedgehog.INK is asking all who enter their store to wear masks as well.
Social distancing is in force in the county for all public events.

FORT SCOTT’S THE PLACE TO LIVE!
|
 |
|
Recently we have been hearing from local realtors that people are choosing to move to Fort Scott from states near and far ~ there’s just something about Bourbon County and this community! We’ve heard Kansas City, New York, Colorado & more!
Here are a couple of quotes shared from local realtors:
“Roots grow deep”–I have a young couple with 3 children returning to Fort Scott from Florida after being gone from here for 6 years. They left for job opportunities, but now both of them have companies who do “remote work from home” with only occasional flights to the home office. They ask employees to be within 2 hours of an airport. Said they want to get back to a simpler life and smaller school system for their children. Anxious to welcome them home when they close on their new purchase in a few weeks.
Retired man moving to Fort Scott later this month from Illinois. His daughter attended FSCC, rodeo department, several years ago. When he visited for college rodeos, etc., said he was always impressed by how friendly people in Fort Scott are. In retirement he wants an affordable property with small acreage for his horses. We found it for him!
