You¡¯re Invited to Participate in the
200 Block of 9th, 10th, & 11th Streets SE YARD SALE
Saturday, October 8, & Sunday, October 9
We¡¯re planning to hold a Yard Sale this fall in the two alleys that run between and parallel to the 200 blocks of 9th and 10th Streets SE, and 10th and 11th Streets SE.? We¡¯ll do it over Columbus Day Weekend, Saturday, October 8, and Sunday, October 9, from 9 am to 3 pm each day.? Everyone on all sides of the two alleys is invited to participate.? Also, neighbors not adjoining the alleys are welcome to partner with a neighbor on the alleys to join the sale.
In previous years, we¡¯ve found block yard sales to be a lot of fun, plus you get rid of some clutter. This year, we¡¯re hoping that involving two alleys will draw even more customers.? We¡¯ll put up fliers and posters around the neighborhood and advertise in the Post and other media.? Everyone will bring the items they want to sell out to their garage, parking pad, or backyard during the Yard Sale, and between customers we¡¯ll all get to visit.? Usually, the weather is great by then, and the fliers, posters, and ads generate lots of customer traffic.? We¡¯ll hold the Yard Sale both days, but you can participate as little or as much as you¡¯d like. The more the merrier!
We have a core group planning the Yard Sale, but we need your help to make it successful.? We need volunteers to walk around the neighborhood to put up fliers the weekend before the sale -- October 1 and 2 -- and then take them down after the sale.? We will provide the fliers and tell you where to post them.? We need help making the larger posters to attract customers.? We also need a $10 donation from participants to help pay for advertising and supplies.? Many hands will make the work lighter.? If you plan to participate and can help, please tell us by Thursday, September 22.? You can fill out the form below or send us an e-mail.? We need the contact information to make it easier to communicate any last-minute instructions.
We¡¯re looking forward to hearing from you and hope to see you at the Yard Sale!
