Garage-A-Rama
Whenever I see posts entitled
“Ways to Make Money from Home”, I read those posts hoping to find new ways to
supplement our family income. One
suggestion mentioned in such posts consistently is “Sell Your Stuff.” If you have stuff to sell, you should
consider taking advantage of one our community’s greatest annual events: Garage-A-Rama.
Friends of the Twin Bridges
Public Library host this fundraiser at the Madison County Fairgrounds in Twin
Bridges. This year, Garage-A-Rama will
be Saturday June 8th, 9 am to 1 pm.
Last year, there were 67 booths split between the Round Building
and the Jeffers (square) Building at the Fairgrounds. Seven to eight hundred people cruise through
the massive garage sale; at $15 per table, it fares to be the most
cost-effective way to “sell your stuff.”
There are spaces
available. Call Cynthia Osborne at
684-5993 to arrange a table or with any questions. If you feel that you don’t have enough stuff
to justify a table but want to participate, phone your friends and go in on a
table together. If by the time you call
all the spaces have been filled, host a yard sale that same Saturday while
shoppers are out on the prowl for amazing deals.
Take a few minutes to wipe
the dust off the stuff you plan to sell.
Think of vendor booths that have caught your eye and try to mimic that
effective marketing. Go through your
closets and if you have clothes you haven’t worn in over a year, pass them
on. Go through the kids’ toys and
books. Mark the prices of your items
clearly.
It is a great day to get out
and socialize with your friends and neighbors.
Catch up with folks you haven’t seen since last fall. At only $15 per table, you are sure to walk
away from the event with cash in your pocket.
Shop the great deals. Tell your
friends. Advertise with The
Madisonian.
