BRUNSWICK — The Rolling Slumber Bed Races returns to downtown Brunswick at 11 a.m. Saturday on Park Row. Businesses and local organizations will construct beds with unique themes. The beds on wheels will be pushed by costumed teams of five.
As of Oct. 31, eight teams were registered.
Prizes will be awarded for speed, creativity and team spirit. The event is free for spectators.
Starting at 6 a.m., many of the 17 participating downtown Brunswick businesses will be offering sales, discounts and special activities as part of the Early Bird Sale.
“Many of our business have their best day of the year during our Early Bird Sale,” said Executive Director Debora King. “Many businesses open at 6 AM and offer the highest discounts then. Some stores offer additional discounts to shoppers who arrive in their PJ’s.”
Other family friendly activities will include a bouncy house, balloons and free hot cocoa at the Town Mall at 10:30 a.m. donated by Pathway Vineyard Church. CHANS Home Health Care will host a free flu shot clinic from 7-11 a.m. at the Tontine Mall.
