Mark your Calendars for Saturday, March 29th – 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.
The BEST Yard Sale of the SEASON!
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.
