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.
During the hot summer 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.
YOU are INVITED to The BEST YARD SALE of the SEASON!

Here is the HUGE Secret to Finding the Bargains
The WEEK BEFORE the EVENT. . . 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!

(Start looking for The Harbour Community Yard Sale Participants on Monday, September 14th and watch it GROW throughout the week until the event on Saturday September 19th.)
Traditionally, shoppers come from a 50 to 60 mile radius around Mooresville – arriving from Hickory, Salisbury, Winston Salem, Greensboro, Charlotte and even as far away as towns in Virginia and South Carolina. The streets are lined with enthusiastic bargain hunters.
