HLC Outlet Tent Sale this Weekend

In conjunction with the Tent Sale, the HLC Outlet is having a Food Drive for several local Food Banks. If you're attending, please bring a non-perishable food item with you to the sale to help these food banks. The Outlet will also accept cash donations if you would like to help purchase more food for these local food banks. The HLC Outlet appreciates all you can do to help the needy.

As a fund raiser for THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, the Outlet will also be selling a chance to be the first shopper into the tent each day of the sale. The winner will have 10 minutes to shop before others are allowed into the tent. Only one winner per day, but tickets are good for all 3 days of the sale. The drawing will be at 7:00AM, with tickets going on sale at 6:30 AM each day of the sale. You may purchase your ticket in advance by calling (800) 452-4462, Option 1.
