Spring is here and so is the King’s Grant Community Yard Sale! The planning and work for our Spring Yard Sale is under way. The sale will be on Saturday, May 5, 2012, 8AM – 1PM at the Triangle, as it was last year, with a rain date of May 12th.
We learned a lot from your suggestions and this year we will provide bigger booths, a portable toilet and better organization. In order to escape permits and expenses imposed by the city, we must adhere to certain guidelines. There can’t be any type of entertainment or sale of any goods not found at garage sales, including home built or grown items or items purchased for re-sale. So, gather all of that stuff you don’t use any-more and exchange it for cash.
You have an opportunity to get your space reserved before all of the booths are taken. Last year, because of a lack of space, we had to turn away people who wanted to sell their items.
The tremendous success of last year’s sale makes us believe the booths will go fast. We have limited number available so make your plans and your reservation early. Members are being asked to pay $5.00 for their booth. Non-members will be charged $15.00 for a space. Again this year, you can bring your own table or rent one from us for $10.00. If you want to have your booth next to a friend or neighbor, please let us know as early as possible and we’ll try and honor your request. As a member of the league, you can pay
on the day of the sale.
Make your reservation by calling or e-mailing Lev Huntington. (757-434-8897) (Levhunt@verizon.net)
