Community yard sale to be a monthly event
Earlier
this year, the owners of Sharon's Country Store
sent up a trial balloon and opened the lot up
for a yard sale, offering folks high-visibility
spaces with Highway frontage for a little of
nothing from where they could display their
wares.As has been the case for much of this spring, that Friday in early May saw the rain come down all day long, and while some folks decided to stay out of the rain, turnout of the die-hards at what was billed as a multi-family yard sale was so good that the sale, renamed the Community Yard Sale/Flea Market, is going to be a regular event at Sharon's Country Store and the Bread Basket Bakery to take place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the first Friday of each month beginning July 6.
Everyone with something to sell, be it yard sale type items, arts, crafts, knick knacks ... anything but food, are welcome, but space is limited and will be released on a first come-first served basis.
The location, 510752 Highway 95 about half a mile north of Three Mile Junction, is just about ideal for such an event, with a high volume of summer traffic in a parking lot that is easy to pull off in. Whether motorists are traveling north or south, those passing by can not only see the sale, but have time to slow down and turn in.
You can reserve a space for a mere $5 for the day, but you have to bring your own tables, canopies and other gear you'll need to show off what you have to offer. You get to pick your own spot, with those arriving early having the best choices.
To assure your space, you need to pay ahead of time; if you have to cancel, just call. After the sale, each vendor is asked to clean up after themselves.
To lock in your space, stop by Sharon's Country Store or call (208) 610-5705. Whether you're buying or selling, it sounds like the monthly Community Yard Sale/Flea Market is going to be the place to be. You can also find out more by visiting them on Facebook, just click here.
