Streets of Garage Sales

Saturday, June 1, 2024, 9am to 4pm

Annually, over fifty households, more if you count the neighbors and families who combined, were able to turn their “trash” into cash participating in the Streets of Garage Sales. Hundreds, if not over a thousand people, came into our community searching for treasures amongst our wares. Many did not go away empty handed. We can do even better this year!

How it works

You

• Register to get your house on the sales map
• Get your own sales ready
• You set the prices, arrange the tables
• Let all your friends & relatives in the area know
• Perhaps, several neighbors will combine their efforts
• Send shoppers to the other homes in your area who are participating

Community Club

• Does all the advertising
• Sets up the maps
• Provide markers for each registered house
• If available, provide entry point greeters and maps

Plan now for your own part in this year’s sale. Set boxes aside and add to them getting ready for the Streets of Garage Sales.

Homes at the major entrance points into the community had community maps with a star marking the site of each home registered for the event. Sale-seekers followed their maps locating the “star” for each site hosting a sale. Registered homes had a hand-full of bright balloons twisting in the wind, inviting all to come and shop…..and shop they did!

All successful events start with good planning and solid execution. Start YOUR planning now to easy the stress in the week prior to the event. Mix your Spring Cleaning with getting ready for the sale!
