November
The Garage sale started off a little rainy but then it stopped and slowly people began to show up. We had lots of stuff but it was a little slow compared to other sales, not as many people come out when the weather is cool and misting. The sale went very well and made $305.00. Thanks to all that brought stuff, junk and good things for the sale. A special thanks to Barbara Ludeking for helping me with the sale from setup to cleanup. All leftover things were donated to charity.
