From the Land of Lobster and Stephen King: White Cedar Swingset Sale

Maine, the state that has brought us lobsters, B & M Beans, L.L. Bean and Stephen King is also home to northern white cedar. Apparently, white cedar is the superhero of outdoor swingsets, and has been used for centuries in ship-building. With this in mind, wouldn't you rather have your offspring climbing up a splinter-free white-cedar ladder than a pseudo-wood that's been painted or chemically treated?

I'm telling you -- fall is a primo time to buy stuff for your outdoor living area. CedarWorks, makers of the abovementioned white cedar play equipment, is holding its swingset sale through Sept. 30, 2008. Get 10% off your entire order, plus two kid-sized rustic chairs for free. Hurry -- seating is limited.
