Bargains abound as dozens and dozens of homes join the sale. If you haven’t been, you’re in for a treat!  

During our last Stem to Stern, over 100 individual yard sales were to be found all over Hull held by residents, local businesses, and organizations. Hundreds of visitors came to bargain hunt from one end of Hull from to the other.  While here, they shopped in our stores, ate at their restaurants, took in our spectacular views, and most importantly—learned that Hull is much more than just Nantasket Beach.

• Bring a friend with you to Stem to Stern. One of you can be the designated driver and the other the designated looker. Hull will be bustling this weekend with Stem to Stern shoppers. Please drive with extra care, keep your eyes on the road, note the speed limit, and watch out for pedestrians. Be safe and enjoy!

• Shop where you see Stem to Stern signs!
