Community-wide Garage Sale
Saturday, May 26th from 9 a.m.–2 p.m.
Are your t-shirts a bit too funky for 2018? Your CD player not as cool as you once thought? There’s a solution. Start gathering your fantastic but no longer useful items for the community garage sale! This event has had huge success in drawing people to the neighbourhood to cruise the sales over the past four years.
We’ll do the mass advertising – you just need to put up signage to direct people to your home from within the community.
