What’s that old axiom – if you want something done, do it yourself? The retailers in Old Town started Plaid Friday, The Alexandria Sidewalk Sale, The Alexandria Warehouse Sale and Alexandria Stylebook, and now we are adding a new spring event to the mix: The Old Town Spring Fling. There are 30 stores that are participating and each one has a special event or trunk show they’re hosting.

Spring is in the air, and that can only mean one thing: the Easter Bunny is hopping into town! But have you ever stopped to wonder where this fluffy, egg-delivering creature originated? It’s a tale as rich as a box of Madame Coco’s chocolate Bon Bons.
