The Nov. 17 Downtown Baraboo Christmas Light Parade marks the beginning of a busy shopping season for downtown Baraboo businesses.
“Each store does their own thing individually, but we all work together to bring people downtown and shop locally,” said Lacey Steffes, Downtown Baraboo, Inc. vice president.
Andy Johnson, who owns the Baraboo Music Store, said next Saturday his store will celebrate its 11th anniversary.
“We try to have a sale every November to kick off the holiday sales and as we get closer to the holidays we continue to have more sales,” Johnson said.
He said customers are following popular music from artists like Train, Jason Mraz and Kenny Chesney, which have driven up demand for ukuleles.
“We sold more of them in the last three years than the previous eight years in business,” Johnson said. “It’s blowing the doors off of everything else we have.”
The store used to stock three ukuleles and now has nearly 30.
