• The Bookstore is having a sale, and it’s a BIGGIE. Everything on the sidewalk will be 40% off or “Priced as Marked” which could end up being MUCH MUCH more!!! This will be the BIG event at the Bookstore this Spring. Here's what's on sale:
• Most fall & winter gear (and even some spring & summer clothes!)
• Gifts
• Spirit items
• Electronics (YES, electronics!)
• Books, trade and children's’
• Art supplies
• And MUCH MORE!
Plus, ARAMARK will be out with some games and door prizes, and even Wolfie may show up (what day is a closely guarded secret).
So, come one, come all, to the only sale of its kind this year (unless we go crazy and do it again in the Fall).
We GUARANTEE you’ll be shocked at the prices so all purchases are final.
See you April 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or all five days!!!
