Nokomis Shoe Shop owner Steve Negaard (right) with Tre McClellan welcome folks into the store for the sidewalk sale, which moved instead after it rained on Saturday, Aug. 7. Negaard was delighted to see other business engaging in Crazy Days again. "As a guy who has been doing it for 45 years, it's so fun to see the neighborhood coming back alive," he said. Nokomis Shoes used to be located next to the bowling alley (formerly Skylanes, now Town Hall) and items filled the sidewalk in front of the bowling alley. "I remember being a kid in high school and dreading working the long days in the heat," said Negaard.

Hrudka said they are looking at doing another event in a month or two - maybe with crab, this time.
