Today is a great day to head to downtown Ferndale and it goes beyond the great weather.

As previously reported earlier today, Hawley’s Auto Supply on Main Street is hosting a hot rod and bike show benefit that is serving up pop, hot dogs and other treats for a donation to benefit a friend of the store. And, as reported, Hawley’s will be closed after today so it’s your chance to say goodbye to the folks there. They will be open until 8pm today.

Also today, The Checkered Apron on 3rd Avenue is celebrating the expansion of their business with the addition of items from Laura’s Creative Attic. There was a ribbon-cutting earlier and they are now offering lots of samples of chocolate-dipped frozen bananas, chocolates, popcorn and other items as well as specials on handmade truffles Barb’s Pies and bulk candy. They will be open until 7pm today.
