Last time we had 41 households participating in this fun community event.

This year it will be held on Saturday, Sept 5 (the Saturday of the Labour Day long weekend) from 8 am - 1 pm, or whatever hours suit you.

You can help publicise the sale with a with a notice on Facebook or other social media.

Pick a spot in your home to gather items you no longer need to get ready for the sale.

Consider buying balloons to mark the sale on your driveway and street.

The timing will be perfect, just before all those back-to school costs, or these days, even a trip to the grocery store😉

Please join in the fun and check out what your neighbours have for sale.

You never know what treasures you’ll find.🛹🎸🚲📸🤿🛶🪎

Hope to see you soon!
