It’s time to start thinking about Garage Sale season!
If anyone is interested in having a city-wide garage sale, please contact Stacy Millikan at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . I am interested in having a garage sale in early May. I think the more we have involved, the better turnout we will have.
