Do you feel over-run with stuff in your home that you no longer want or use?
Do you still have wedding presents lurking in your closet, which have never been out of their boxes?
Do you crave extra space in your home and/or garage?
Do you dislike hosting garage sales at your home because of poor turnout?
If your answer is yes to any of these questions, then a Community Yard sale is just for you!
What is a Community Yard Sale?
A
Community Yard sale is a venue for people to get together to sell their
items in one common place. It’s like a garage sale, but
instead of using your driveway, you rent a table alongside several
other people. It’s a wonderful way to sell your items to an
extremely large audience. The best part is…we do all the
advertising for you!
A good home
garage sale might attract 50 or 75 people, but a community yard sale
attracts upwards of 300 or 400 people! Even the best advertised
home garage sales would never reach these attendance numbers.
Since our first
sale in 2005 the Stornoway Community Yard sale has become an incredibly
popular event. We routinely rent out all of our available tables
and attract literally hundreds of customers. We have over 30
tables available for rent. People, who rent tables, work their
own table and take home 100% of their profit. The only cost is
the $30.00 table rental fee.
For avid
garage-salers, the Stornoway Community Yard sale is one stop
shopping. It’s like hitting over 30 houses in one morning!
What else is available at the Stornoway Community Yard Sale?
In
addition to finding great deals on pretty much anything you can think
of, you can also join us for a fabulous BBQ lunch, or take home some
yummy homemade baked goods made by our very own parent body.
Don’t hesitate to bring your children because we have an amazing
kids carnival section where little ones can win great prizes.
Who benefits from the Stornoway Community Yard Sale?
The
Stornoway Community Yard sale is a fundraiser for Stornoway Crescent
Public School. The school benefits from the table rental fees, as
well as the money raised from the BBQ lunch and the bake sale.
You can feel good participating in the Stornoway Community Yard sale
either as a vendor, or as a customer, because you will have helped to
raise funds for our wonderful little school.
