BAR HARBOR—The Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce announced Tuesday morning that the annual Early Bird Pajama Sale and Bed Races have been rescheduled from Saturday, November 12 to Friday, November 11.

Chamber Executive Director Alf Anderson asked for help getting the word to those who plan to attend. And the Chamber put out the following message on its Facebook.

“Please plan to support our local businesses by coming out in your PJs to get some great deals! And cheer on your favorite Bed Racing team as they sprint down Cottage Street! This Friday morning in downtown Bar Harbor!”
