cost of printing the maps or listings, we are asking for a $5
registration fee. We had the T-shirt signs made last year but we
never had anyone donate wood or labor to build the signs, so
that is something we are asking for again this year. Donations of
wood and labor will be accepted immediately. Some of the local
realtors and businesses are willing to become sponsors again
this year, and some real estate open houses will occur during the
sale to bring more people into the area. Also, it was suggested
that the community garage sale happen on one of the weekends
of the Renaissance Festival because of higher traffic counts.

The Metro Board has stated that all signs need to be picked up
as soon as the sales are over on Sunday. Because of advertising
deadlines, each garage sale will have to be registered by July
8, 2018.

we can have another year of good attendance with no water
