Expect the Unexpected (and Massive Variety)

True to its name, An Occasional Sale isn’t a standard daily retail store. It is open just twice a month, with operating dates that vary throughout the year. This limited availability creates an exciting, high-energy, "event-style" atmosphere every single time the doors swing open.

When you step inside, prepare to navigate an expansive, ever-shifting inventory. The store specializes in curated home goods sourced directly from local estate sales, meaning you are browsing through items with genuine history, character, and charm. Alongside these vintage treasures, the venue regularly restocks the showroom floor with brand-new furniture pieces and practical household essentials. From mid-century modern dressers and quirky antique decor to everyday kitchenware and cozy textiles, it truly is a place where you can find a little bit of everything.

The Hustle and Bustle

Because the store is only open selectively, sale weekends draw large crowds of eager locals and traveling vintage enthusiasts. Expect a busy, bustling environment where the most unique items move incredibly fast. Regular shoppers recommend keeping an open mind—half the fun is arriving without a rigid shopping list and letting the unexpected inventory surprise you.

Prices are highly reasonable, making it a favorite spot for DIY enthusiasts looking for furniture to upcycle, collectors seeking rare finds, and budget-conscious decorators. Because the stock changes completely from one sale event to the next, no two visits are ever identical.

Quick Tips for Visitors

Check the Schedule: Because operational dates change monthly, always verify their upcoming sale weekend on social media before planning your trip.

Arrive Early: The most unique estate pieces and premier furniture deals tend to fly off the floor within the first few opening hours.

Make a Day of It: Once you’ve secured your treasures, take time to explore the rest of Main Street to enjoy Shawnee’s local dining, independent boutiques, and rich historic charm.

Whether you are a seasoned thrifter or a casual shopper looking for a fun weekend activity, An Occasional Sale delivers an authentic, rewarding treasure hunt right in the heart of Shawnee.

Please join us! No previous experience required…come as you are… ready for an experience in enchantment!

SWAN redefines person-in-relation to place, laying the foundation for restoring the health of people and the planet through the language of art and the power of imagination.

Art & Nature Heal, Imagine That!

SWANshops: Altered Books

The Earth that we live on is full of stories in the same way that, for a fish, the ocean is full of ocean. Some people say when we are born we’re born into stories. I say we’re also born from stories – Ben Okri Nigerian storyteller and poet.

The Altered Books art experience will focus on telling our stories through our inner and outer landscapes. Creating Altered Books is a varied and delightful mixed media method of art making that repurposes old books into delightful storytelling repositories.

Each section of the altered book will tell a story from our life, our geo-biography – the landscapes that have held us and brought meaning into our lives. The idea of “landscapes of life” highlights the inter-connectedness of our internal world, external experiences, and our relationship with the environment. It suggests that our personal experiences and choices shape not only our individual path but also our understanding of the world around us.

Participants will work on one section of their book over 6 swan shop meetings. Each time we meet we will focus on a new invitation. Come to one or as many as you like!

During the first meeting, participants will prepare their “book” for altering, glueing pages, painting parts, etc. And…they will begin to document the role of the land in their lives through simple writing exercises.

All following sessions will elaborate on these geo-biographical stories translated into images for their altered book.

Saturday, March 7| 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. | $30 for non-members $25 for museum members

Saturday, April 11| 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. | $30 for non-members $25 for museum members

Saturday, May 16| 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. | $30 for non-members $25 for museum members

Expect the Unexpected (and Massive Variety)

True to its name, An Occasional Sale isn’t a standard daily retail store. It is open just twice a month, with operating dates that vary throughout the year. This limited availability creates an exciting, high-energy, "event-style" atmosphere every single time the doors swing open.

When you step inside, prepare to navigate an expansive, ever-shifting inventory. The store specializes in curated home goods sourced directly from local estate sales, meaning you are browsing through items with genuine history, character, and charm. Alongside these vintage treasures, the venue regularly restocks the showroom floor with brand-new furniture pieces and practical household essentials. From mid-century modern dressers and quirky antique decor to everyday kitchenware and cozy textiles, it truly is a place where you can find a little bit of everything.

The Hustle and Bustle

Because the store is only open selectively, sale weekends draw large crowds of eager locals and traveling vintage enthusiasts. Expect a busy, bustling environment where the most unique items move incredibly fast. Regular shoppers recommend keeping an open mind—half the fun is arriving without a rigid shopping list and letting the unexpected inventory surprise you.

Prices are highly reasonable, making it a favorite spot for DIY enthusiasts looking for furniture to upcycle, collectors seeking rare finds, and budget-conscious decorators. Because the stock changes completely from one sale event to the next, no two visits are ever identical.

Quick Tips for Visitors

Check the Schedule: Because operational dates change monthly, always verify their upcoming sale weekend on social media before planning your trip.

Arrive Early: The most unique estate pieces and premier furniture deals tend to fly off the floor within the first few opening hours.

Make a Day of It: Once you’ve secured your treasures, take time to explore the rest of Main Street to enjoy Shawnee’s local dining, independent boutiques, and rich historic charm.

Whether you are a seasoned thrifter or a casual shopper looking for a fun weekend activity, An Occasional Sale delivers an authentic, rewarding treasure hunt right in the heart of Shawnee.

Expect the Unexpected (and Massive Variety)

True to its name, An Occasional Sale isn’t a standard daily retail store. It is open just twice a month, with operating dates that vary throughout the year. This limited availability creates an exciting, high-energy, "event-style" atmosphere every single time the doors swing open.

When you step inside, prepare to navigate an expansive, ever-shifting inventory. The store specializes in curated home goods sourced directly from local estate sales, meaning you are browsing through items with genuine history, character, and charm. Alongside these vintage treasures, the venue regularly restocks the showroom floor with brand-new furniture pieces and practical household essentials. From mid-century modern dressers and quirky antique decor to everyday kitchenware and cozy textiles, it truly is a place where you can find a little bit of everything.

The Hustle and Bustle

Because the store is only open selectively, sale weekends draw large crowds of eager locals and traveling vintage enthusiasts. Expect a busy, bustling environment where the most unique items move incredibly fast. Regular shoppers recommend keeping an open mind—half the fun is arriving without a rigid shopping list and letting the unexpected inventory surprise you.

Prices are highly reasonable, making it a favorite spot for DIY enthusiasts looking for furniture to upcycle, collectors seeking rare finds, and budget-conscious decorators. Because the stock changes completely from one sale event to the next, no two visits are ever identical.

Quick Tips for Visitors

Check the Schedule: Because operational dates change monthly, always verify their upcoming sale weekend on social media before planning your trip.

Arrive Early: The most unique estate pieces and premier furniture deals tend to fly off the floor within the first few opening hours.

Make a Day of It: Once you’ve secured your treasures, take time to explore the rest of Main Street to enjoy Shawnee’s local dining, independent boutiques, and rich historic charm.

Whether you are a seasoned thrifter or a casual shopper looking for a fun weekend activity, An Occasional Sale delivers an authentic, rewarding treasure hunt right in the heart of Shawnee.

She kicked down the doors of country music with a rebel yell and never looked back. Now, Gretchen Wilson, the original “Redneck Woman,” is charging into a new era with fire in her lungs, steel in her spirit, and a tour that proves legends never fade—they evolve.

Her current “Still Here for the Party” Tour is a thunderous celebration of Gretchen’s roots and rise, featuring the songs that defined a generation and the stories that made her a fan favorite. From the honky-tonk grit of her mega hit “Redneck Woman” to the soul-baring anthems that followed, Gretchen has sold over eight million albums, topped the Billboard charts, and racked up CMA, ACM, AMA, CMT, Billboard Music and GRAMMY awards—all by staying true to who she is.

Born in small-town Pocahontas, Illinois, Gretchen traded kitchens for stages and created a voice that would echo through country radio for decades. Her debut album Here for the Party went 5x platinum, and her second release All Jacked Up made history as the highest-debuting album by a female country artist at the time. She became a voice for those who never felt represented in polished Nashville—and in doing so, redefined what authenticity looks and sounds like in country music.

After years of making waves on her own terms, Gretchen is once again making headlines—this time as the winner of Season 13 of The Masked Singer, where her powerhouse vocals stunned both the judges and America. Late last year, she stepped into a high-profile TV role alongside Blake Shelton and Keith Urban in Taylor Sheridan’s hit reality series The ROAD on CBS/Paramount+. She served as Tour Manager and on-air mentor, shaping the next generation of country stars.

But fans don’t have to wait for TV to see her shine. The “Still Here for the Party” Tour is in full swing, delivering high-octane shows packed with hits, heart, and hell-yeah moments from one of country’s most iconic performers. Whether it’s a festival stage or a sold-out arena, Gretchen brings raw vocals, rebel charm, and a reminder that real country never goes out of style.

She is currently in the studio re-recording her breakout Here For The Party album, which will feature a guest artist on each track. Release is anticipated for late spring 2026.

She’s not just still here—she’s stronger, louder, and leading the charge into the next chapter of country music. Catch Gretchen Wilson live, and see why the party never really ended.

Expect the Unexpected (and Massive Variety)

True to its name, An Occasional Sale isn’t a standard daily retail store. It is open just twice a month, with operating dates that vary throughout the year. This limited availability creates an exciting, high-energy, "event-style" atmosphere every single time the doors swing open.

When you step inside, prepare to navigate an expansive, ever-shifting inventory. The store specializes in curated home goods sourced directly from local estate sales, meaning you are browsing through items with genuine history, character, and charm. Alongside these vintage treasures, the venue regularly restocks the showroom floor with brand-new furniture pieces and practical household essentials. From mid-century modern dressers and quirky antique decor to everyday kitchenware and cozy textiles, it truly is a place where you can find a little bit of everything.

The Hustle and Bustle

Because the store is only open selectively, sale weekends draw large crowds of eager locals and traveling vintage enthusiasts. Expect a busy, bustling environment where the most unique items move incredibly fast. Regular shoppers recommend keeping an open mind—half the fun is arriving without a rigid shopping list and letting the unexpected inventory surprise you.

Prices are highly reasonable, making it a favorite spot for DIY enthusiasts looking for furniture to upcycle, collectors seeking rare finds, and budget-conscious decorators. Because the stock changes completely from one sale event to the next, no two visits are ever identical.

Quick Tips for Visitors

Check the Schedule: Because operational dates change monthly, always verify their upcoming sale weekend on social media before planning your trip.

Arrive Early: The most unique estate pieces and premier furniture deals tend to fly off the floor within the first few opening hours.

Make a Day of It: Once you’ve secured your treasures, take time to explore the rest of Main Street to enjoy Shawnee’s local dining, independent boutiques, and rich historic charm.

Whether you are a seasoned thrifter or a casual shopper looking for a fun weekend activity, An Occasional Sale delivers an authentic, rewarding treasure hunt right in the heart of Shawnee.

Expect the Unexpected (and Massive Variety)

True to its name, An Occasional Sale isn’t a standard daily retail store. It is open just twice a month, with operating dates that vary throughout the year. This limited availability creates an exciting, high-energy, "event-style" atmosphere every single time the doors swing open.

When you step inside, prepare to navigate an expansive, ever-shifting inventory. The store specializes in curated home goods sourced directly from local estate sales, meaning you are browsing through items with genuine history, character, and charm. Alongside these vintage treasures, the venue regularly restocks the showroom floor with brand-new furniture pieces and practical household essentials. From mid-century modern dressers and quirky antique decor to everyday kitchenware and cozy textiles, it truly is a place where you can find a little bit of everything.

The Hustle and Bustle

Because the store is only open selectively, sale weekends draw large crowds of eager locals and traveling vintage enthusiasts. Expect a busy, bustling environment where the most unique items move incredibly fast. Regular shoppers recommend keeping an open mind—half the fun is arriving without a rigid shopping list and letting the unexpected inventory surprise you.

Prices are highly reasonable, making it a favorite spot for DIY enthusiasts looking for furniture to upcycle, collectors seeking rare finds, and budget-conscious decorators. Because the stock changes completely from one sale event to the next, no two visits are ever identical.

Quick Tips for Visitors

Check the Schedule: Because operational dates change monthly, always verify their upcoming sale weekend on social media before planning your trip.

Arrive Early: The most unique estate pieces and premier furniture deals tend to fly off the floor within the first few opening hours.

Make a Day of It: Once you’ve secured your treasures, take time to explore the rest of Main Street to enjoy Shawnee’s local dining, independent boutiques, and rich historic charm.

Whether you are a seasoned thrifter or a casual shopper looking for a fun weekend activity, An Occasional Sale delivers an authentic, rewarding treasure hunt right in the heart of Shawnee.
