Yard Sale 2024!

For the 13th year, dozens of local residents, having paid a small fee, gathered in the Dewey Lot to sell their excess stuff. In spite of an ominous weather forecast, the weather stayed fine.  Many wonderful volunteers came together to help throughout the month, the few days before and especially on the big day.  Founded in 2010 as a means to allow us to find new homes for all the things we accumulate and no longer need, the sale has had a life of its own ever since. Hundreds of people come to browse and buy from the enormous range of items. Several not-for-profit groups use the Sale as an opportunity to do some fundraising. Sellers go home with a lot less than they came with, smiling as they leave.  Buyers are thrilled with their purchases, proving ‘one man’s trash is another man’s treasure‘. A very social event with plenty of parking.

To organize an event of this size requires various town and college departments working together. Many thanks to everyone who is involved, it couldn’t do it without you.
