Back for a 5th Year!
The Citywide garage sale has become a staple of your Spring Cleaning season!
Running from 8 am - 5 pm both Friday, April 10, and Saturday, April 11 - the event is a great time to dust off some of those old collectibles in the house and offer them at a fair and reasonable price to community members looking for a good deal!
Each garage sale spot is owned in full by the private citizen hosting that sale. The Chamber does not warrant and cannot be held liable for private citizen sales, experiences, or services. All concerns should be handled civilly between both parties.
