On November 1 and 2, 1974, Tait Cummins and Jerry Brady, General Manager of WMT, hosted the World’s Largest Garage Sale at Hawkeye Downs in Cedar Rapids. The event raised an incredible $10,000 to help pull Camp out of debt.

Donations came from as far away as Charles City and Muscatine, and an estimated 750–1,000 volunteers helped make the sale a success.

From those humble beginnings, the sale eventually moved to Manchester—and this year, we are proud to celebrate its 50th year! What an amazing legacy of generosity, community, and support for Camp.

David Luck sent in this photo of Miss Price kindergarten class from 1952. This photo is taken inside the High School building on the first floor. The building out the window i believe is Darrell’s Restaurant today. I believe the new gym wasn’t built yet.
