Sign-ups open for garage sale event

Sign-ups are now open for the 19th annual Trash To Treasures garage sale event to be held Saturday, June 1.

Residents who wish to participate in this year’s “Trash To Treasures” are asked to contact the Enterprise before 5 p.m. on Friday, May 24, 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 countywide garage sale in area newspapers and radio ads as well as on social media and digital platforms.

In addition to garage sales, non-profits and youth groups can also hold fundraising cookouts and events and be included on the map as part of this great day in our community.

“The more people who have garage sales during Trash To Treasures, the better everyone will do,” said Roger Estlack, publisher of The Clarendon Enterprise which sponsors the event. “Sign-up fees cover the cost of area advertising, so we can reach more people and have better attendance if we have a larger number of sales.”

The City of Clarendon requires all garage sales to be permitted. There is no charge for the permit, but City Hall asks all Trash To Treasures participants to go by a get a permit and a copy of the city’s rules governing garage sales.
