Mark your Calendars for Saturday, March 21st – 7:30 to Noon – Rain or Shine
“Hidden Treasures” are not always found in “brick and mortar” stores. Sometimes shoppers can find true “treasures” at BARGAIN prices at local YARD SALES (also called Garage Sales.)
During the cold winter months, people often utilize their indoor time by cleaning out closets, attics and garages in hopes of purging items they have outgrown and/or do not use in order to make way for NEW THINGS. This is a win/win for everyone because bargain shoppers can find amazing deals at a fraction of the cost of new items bought in stores — and – sellers can make a little money in the process — plus — clean the house.
Every weekend, there are multiple options and events for die-hard bargain hunters who are on the move and Yard Sales are a Great Way to Spend a Saturday Morning.
Look no further than THE HARBOUR at The Pointe in Mooresville because . . . their community’s MEGA event is the BEST YARD SALE OF THE SEASON.
This is the link to the Event with all of the pertinent details.
Don’t run all over the county searching for the perfect yard sale . . . SAVE on GAS and find 40 to 50 families participating ALL in ONE neighborhood – they have literally THOUSANDS of things for sale. You will find something for every member of your family and every room in your home!
There are so many new and repeat shoppers. When it gets too congested on the road, shoppers park their cars and walk the lovely streets of The Harbour.
NOTE: The list of items for sale GROWS by the minute and is way too long to include everything in this article.

One Address Will be Donating their Proceeds to Charity
Feline Network Rescue
Keep your eyes out for the mascot on the corner of Bay Harbour Rd and Island Cove Lane pointing shoppers in the right direction!
This participating location supports Feline Network Rescue and ALL PROCEEDS (from this address) are donated to the organization.
This particular Harbour resident accepts donations from those Harbour families who do not have enough “treasures” to host a personal yard sale but want to give to help our feline friends.
Here is the Secret to Finding the Bargains
AS THE DATE GROWS NEAR . . . there will be multiple posts on Yard Sale sites and apps with LONG LISTS of items for sale – Keep your eyes open for the ever growing list!
