The Great Neighborhood Garage Sale is scheduled for Friday, June 20th & Saturday, June 21st. You can opt to host your sale on both days or just one. Then, start organizing your junk – someone else’s treasures! Determine which items are usable and sellable and label them with a price. Figure out how you’ll display the deals and borrow some tables if you need to. Plan for supervising the sale and for keeping track of your earnings.
We will create a map of neighborhood sales, which will be posted online. The Great Garage Sale will also be advertised in Craigslist, the Villager, Star Tribune, and Pioneer Press newspapers. We will create a sign for your sale, too, which will be distributed throughout the week leading up to the sale.
Post your Great Garage Sale sign in your yard and be ready to sell on Friday, June 20th and Saturday, June 21st from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.! Plant yourself in the sun (hopefully) and offer some deals to those who treasure your junk (definitely). At the end of the day, pull up the sign and save the leftovers to bring to the Fall Citywide Drop-off Event.
