Get ready for an epic day of treasure hunting in Mountain Grove on National Thrift Shop Day, planned for Saturday, August 17, 2019.

All eight of the thrift and antique stores in the charming town of Mountain Grove will participate in the daylong event that will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Thrift shops slated to participate include Mountain Grove Love Center Thrift Shop, Hill's Flea Market, Mutt & Jeff's, Lost Treasures, Wright County Crisis Center, and No Rhyme or Reason.

Don't forget to also visit the two participating antique stores: Good Old Days and E. Marie's.

Wear your comfiest shoes for your day of treasure hunting because you have *a lot* of ground to cover. (Five of the participating shops span more than 3,000 square feet.)

Lost Treasures, for example, boasts a spectacular 10,000-square foot space, brimming with antiques and furniture. In fact, you'll have 25 dealer booths to browse, too.

For even more vendors, head over to E. Marie's Antique Mall and Boutique, where you can check out more than 110 vendor booths.

If you want to visit all eight participating shops in town, you'll probably want to start your day early.

The day will also include refreshments for shoppers.

Address: Mountain Grove, Missouri, 65711
