Community Yard Sale Sets Precedent

Saturday, May 7th, King’s Grant Community League held is first ever (or least as long as anyone can remember) community yard sale. The event was put on by the KGCL Board of Directors through an ad hoc committee organized by Lev Huntington, Treasurer. By all accounts the yard sale was well received by the community and a big success all around. The event ran from 8 AM until 2 PM. All 38 spaces reserved for the event were used, with the majority taken by league members to sell and trade household goods. Some sellers brought plants and flowers. Others brought hand made items. Face painting was popular with the kids at $1 each. Concessions were also served all day. Camaraderie among everyone was apparent.

The KGCL Board of Directors would like to thank Prince of Peace Church for sharing their parking lot. Thanks also go to King’s Grant 7-11 and King’s Grant Citgo for their neighborly cooperation. There was certainly an abundance of activity at The Triangle. Our hope is that community events held in our open spaces will demonstrate that King’s Grant is a vibrant, healthy community and will create opportunities for the residents of King’s Grant and surrounding neighborhoods to come together in good spirit.
