Community Garage Sale: Back by Popular Demand!
Early Bird: Friday, May 7 from 4:00 to 6 PM for a $3 entry fee
and Saturday, May 8, 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM free
PLEASE NOTE: Save your gently used household items, or maybe even some still-in-the-package Christmas gifts that while good intentioned, you just don't have any use for. Remember, you can take a tax deduction for your donation. High quality items, clean and in working condition will gladly be accepted. As in years past, no clothing, undergarments, coats, shoes or purses will be accepted. As a result of limited storage capacity, please do not attempt to drop off items until 2:00 PM on Wednesday, May 5. For bulkier items or donors with limited transportation options, volunteers from the PSC will be available to provide pick up services.
And for all you bargain shoppers out there (and really, who isn't these days?), make sure to save the dates on your calendar for this event. There is a $3 entry fee for the Early Bird sale Friday evening, but entrance to the Saturday sale is free and open to the public.
