Neighborhood Garage Sale and Block Party!!

Hi Neighbors!

Recently a few of us discussed the possibility of having a neighborhood-wide garage sale.  Why? Well the hope is that we can pool resources for marketing, and signage.

The date that was decided on is July 23, 2016.

If you are interested in participating there are two ways you can do so:

1. Have a garage sale at your house.  Contact Marguerite at littlerita2@gmail.com to let me know that you would like your house to appear on flyers/maps advertising the sale--and the rest is up to you!
2. If you don't have enough stuff, you can bring priced stuff over to my house at 3131 N. Tindle.  Please be fair about your prices and let me know what to do with unsold goods.  My strategy will likely to be to haul any unsold items to Savers or Goodwill, so if you do not share that feeling, you must come back before 5 pm on that day to collect your belongings (and hopefully your profits!)
3. Talk to your neighbors and pool your resources!

If you wish to have a sale on Friday or Sunday as well, that is fine--let us know and we can make a note of that in any advertising. 

After the garage sale, we would like to have a really informal block party.  The plan currently (we'll update this site with changes) is to have it on Miller Street close to the Tindle intersection.  The idea would be for neighbors to wheel out their grills, toys, coolers, and games to the front yard and have a little summer party.  Some ideas would be setting up kiddie pools, corn hole games, trampolines or bounce houses, music, and of course lots of food and drinks.  If this street is too far for you--have one at your own location!! Our hope is for people to get together with neighbors for some good times.  We would love to see everyone, but most important is getting together with neighbors!  At dusk, we will set up our movie projector and screen and have a kid-friendly movie showing.  Last time, the kids brought sleeping bags and we set out our crash pads and there was popcorn and lots of fun.  Parents can socialize--or watch the movie, too!

You do not need to participate in both of these events--but please let me know if you would like to attend one or the other.  littlerita2@gmail.com

We thought the party could start at about 4 pm to give people a chance to clean up from the garage sale.

Hope to see some folks around!
