***Attention to 2nd Saturday Sale and All Kansas & Nebraska Shop Hop shoppers***

Downtown Baldwin City will be closed to traffic on Saturday, May 10 from 10am to 4pm for the Thunder on the Bricks car show.

Only cars participating in the car show will be allowed to park in the designated areas on High Street from 7th to 9th and on 8th Street from High St. to Grove. Limited parking for everyone else will be available along High St., on 6th Street, and on 7th Street, both north and south of High Street. Beyond that, you may park in the neighborhoods and possibly a few spots in the lot behind the Methodist Church on Grove between 7th and 8th Streets. Plan your day knowing you will have to walk to the shop, not park right outside our door.

Quilters' Paradise will be open on Saturdays from 10am to 5pm through the end of May during the All Kansas & Nebraska Shop Hop.
