Christmas in July Sale at River of Time

The L. Alan Cruikshank River of Time Museum & Exploration Center is celebrating Christmas in July Saturday, July 30.

The center is partnering with Teri Ernst of Minimyz, who will offer a 20 percent discount for her organizational services and a free pass to the River of Time to those donating items to the Summer Market fundraising sale. Everyone is welcome, and donated items are not a requirement to come into the museum and join the celebration. Donations of gently used or new household items and décor will be accepted during the event. Donations not meeting the requirements will be turned away.

The event is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the River of Time, 12901 N. LaMontana Drive in Fountain Hills. Visitors are invited to cool off with Santa, enjoy cookies and have a festive shopping experience. In addition to items featured in the Summer Market, some Riverbanks Shop items are marked down as much as 75 percent.

Visitors are invited to check in at the reception desk and either bring their items in or let staff know they would like to pull up to the back door. Volunteers will be available to go through items and help unload.

Staff and volunteers will be dressed in Christmas attire (probably sans sweaters), serving cookies, playing Christmas music, selling Summer Market items as well as gift shop items for sale up to 75% off. Santa also will make an appearance. He will be in the requisite red suit.

The River of Time is open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and by appointment through Sept. 30.

The River of Time Museum is located at 12901 N. La Montana Blvd. in Fountain Hills, next to the local library and magnificent sculpture garden with a view of the town’s famous fountain. For more information about special events, visit https://www.riveroftime.museum/
