The sign-up period for the ninth annual “Trash To Treasures” garage sale event is underway, this year’s sale is slated for Saturday, June 7. A large participation is again anticipated.
Garage sales in Hedley, Howardwick, and the surrounding area are also welcome to sign up for the big day.
“This event has been a success the last several years, and we’re hoping it will be equally successful this year,” said Roger Estlack, publisher of The Clarendon Enterprise, which sponsors the event.
“People realize that it makes sense to have these garage sales on the same day to draw a bigger crowd.”
Residents who wish to participate in this year’s “Trash To Treasures” are asked to come by the Enterprise before 5 p.m. on Friday, May 30, to sign up for the promotion.
For just $25, each household will get a 50-word advertisement in the Big-E Classifieds and the exclusive “Trash To Treasures” garage sale signs. In addition, the Enterprise will print a city map the week of the event indicating the location of each sale and will promote the citywide garage sale in area newspapers and with local radio ads.
“The more people who have garage sales, the better everyone will do,” Estlack said. “Sign-up fees are what cover the cost of area advertising, so we can reach more people and have better attendance if we have a larger number of sales.
