At Sweetwater Trade
Days there is something
for everyone.
Sweetwater has had its
very own trade days show
since last December,
but for some reason it
remains a well hidden
gem.
"We are doing lots of
advertising, but there
are just some commu-
nity members that still
don't realize we are here,"
Gilbert Lopez, general
manager of Sweetwater
Trade Days said. "We are
advertising locally and
as far as seven different
states, with radio, news-
paper, billboards and fly-
ers.5'
In just eight months,
word has spread enough
to expand the trade days
from 45 vendors to a little
over a hundred vendors.
There is basically some-
thing for anyone, whether
you are looking for home
decor, tools, furniture,
wooden pictures and
crosses, jewelry, imports,
toys or metal decora-
tions. It is also possible
to find some hard to find,
unique items, such as
hand-tooled leather, wire
wrap jewelry, make your
own jewelry products,
dog clothing and bedding,
cowhides and unique fur-
niture, rare coins, metal
detectors and cantaloupe
jam.
"We are able to attract
about five more vendors
each month," Lopez said.
"These are the vendors

Attention kids!
School may be right
around the corner, but it
doesn't have to be a sad
thing. Imagine if you went
back to school, with a
brand new backpack filled
with school supplies. Of
course, everyone will be
going back to school with a
new backpack and school
supplies, but you could be
able to say that yours was
free.
All children are encour-
aged to take their parents
to First Financial Bank
before Thursday, Aug. 19,
and enter for a chance to
win a supply-filled back-
pack. First Financial Bank

to be in kindergarten
through fifth grade can put
their name in the drawing.
