The line:

· Line begins no sooner than 7 am each day.

· Any abandoned personal items left in the line area are considered abandoned and will be discarded.

· Wait times to get into the sale and at checkout fluctuate. We are unable to predict how long they will be or are.

· There are no exceptions for “skipping the line,” including (but not limited to) pregnant women, elderly persons or those in recovering health. We rely on our shoppers to use their best judgment for their own health and comfort and remind them that no sale is worth endangering their health and safety.

The sale:

· All sales are final.

· Warehouse Sale purchases are not applicable to our MacKenzie-Childs Rewards program and therefore do not earn MacKenzie-Childs Rewards points. MacKenzie-Childs Rewards redemptions will not be accepted at the Warehouse Sale event.

· Forms of payment accepted are cash and credit cards. No personal checks or MacKenzie-Childs gift cards can be accepted.

· Bags and shopping carts will be provided. Although we will have lots of carts at the sale, they are limited in number. We encourage you to bring your own cart, wagon, and/or reusable shopping bags to use while shopping, if you want to avoid waiting for one of our carts to become available. They will be checked upon entry to and exit from the sale.

· Warehouse Sale inventory is a mix of first-quality overstock and seconds. We strongly recommend that you inspect your purchases carefully for possible defects as all sales are final and items cannot be returned. It is the customer’s responsibility (not MacKenzie-Childs’) to check over products for any undesirable qualities prior to purchase.

· Product is restocked continually throughout the sale.

· We do not know or guarantee what will be offered at the Warehouse Sale, product- or inventory-wise, prior to or during the sale.

· MacKenzie-Childs reserves the right to cap multiple purchases of a single product at the time of checkout without prior notice.

· MacKenzie-Childs is not responsible for lost or damaged personal items. There will be a “lost & found” area at the sale; please see a staff member for assistance.

· This is an in-person sale event that cannot be shopped online or over the phone.

More details:

· Pets are not allowed into the Warehouse Sale. Please leave them at home. Service animals only.

· We recommend you leave infants and young children at home as we cannot predict the weather during the sale, with little to no shelter available when standing in line. We rely on

our shoppers to use their best judgment for their own health and comfort and remind them that no sale is worth endangering their health and safety.

In this encore episode (193) of Walk in the Park from 2018, we join a Tompkins County Environmental Management Council public field trip to one the county’s special “Unique Natural Areas” and Nature Conservancy Preserve, the O.D. von Engeln Preserve in Malloryville. Naturalist and preserve steward Bob Beck takes us on a tour of the ecological richness created by an Ice Age legacy, visiting swamps, fens, bogs and the remarkable biodiversity created by glacial eskers and kettle ponds in this 309 acre nature preserve along Fall Creek between Freeville and McLean, NY. Find out more about the preserve.

Walk in the Park is a non-commercial, public access TV series shown online anywhere and on Ithaca, NY cable channel 13. Walk in the Park is produced as a public service by Owl Gorge Productions, at PEGASYS Community Media Center. Owl Gorge Productions is a partner organization in the Finger Lakes Tourism Alliance.

Drink. Eat. Garden. Repeat. Jumpstart your herb garden by gathering potted herbs and veggies showcased in our delectable food samples, complete with a matching recipe collection.

Indulge in herb-infused dishes and discover the perfect wine pairing for each. Take home the recipes, ensuring you'll shine as the star chef at your next gathering. Plus, enjoy up to three additional wine tastings to complete your delightful experience.

• April 27/28 and May 4/5 from 10am to 5pm, both days
• 10 participating wineries
• This event is structured like our pre-2020 events:
  • Select a specific starting winery for you and your friends to start at. (This is where you’ll receive your souvenir wine glass and first potted herb or vegetable plant!)
  • Travel the trail as you please after your first stop, collecting potted herbs or vegetable plants as you go.
  • The ticket is good for BOTH days, so feel free to spread the wineries out over both days or come on just Saturday or just Sunday. (Pro-tip: Sunday tends to be a lighter day, so the wineries won’t be as crowded, which makes for an excellent time to visit and get more one-on-one attention with less waiting.)
• Groups are limited to 12.
• Expect diversity. Some wineries will be offering the standard bar tasting while others will be offering a sit-down experience that may take longer. Take your time during the day and enjoy both!

Herbs this year are Basil, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Cilantro, Cherokee Purple Tomato, Dill, Oregano, Parsley, Rosemary, and Sweet Banana Pepper..

Tickets:

Each ticket is good for the whole weekend to visit each winery once. Single tickets are $65 and couples tickets are $95 (plus tax and service fee) and include:

• 1 wine and food pairing at each winery, per person
• 3 additional wine tastings per winery, per person
• 1 potted herb or vegetable plant per ticket (1 for a single ticket, 1 for a single DD ticket, and 1 for a couples ticket)
• 1 recipe collection per ticket
• 1 souvenir wine glass per person

Discounted designated driver tickets are also available. The DD gets all the same perks as a regular ticket, minus the wine. They also get a DD travel mug, rather than a wine glass. $45 for a single (plus tax and service fee).

Coffee provided by Cobblestone Coffee Roasters
