Selling on the sidewalk

Downtown Lake Orion encouraged commerce in the downtown area, while encouraging residents to get outside at the same time, with the Dog Days of August Sidewalk Sales, held Aug. 12-14.
Downtown businesses were encouraged to offer sales outside their buildings on the sidewalk.
The event took on a dog theme on Saturday, with a dog parade (featuring about 60 dogs in costume), dog contests, Adopt a Dog, hot dog vendors and Leader Dog demonstrations.
