Mark Friday, July 26th, Saturday, July 27th AND Sunday, July 28th on your calendar as the dates for our 20th village-wide garage sale. The time will be 9 am to 3 pm. each day. You can sign up for all days or for a specific day. Save your trash or treasures to be part of the action.
The village will put ads in the local papers (print and online), and social media, so there is no cost to you. Signs will be posted at the entrance to each subdivision.
A list of addresses for all participants will be available at the Village Hall on all three days with a village map. Arrangements will be made with the Salvation Army to pick up leftovers the following Monday.
You may want to pick up a few maps to hand out to buyers who haven’t stopped by the Village. If you run low, you can always make copies.
Those who joined previous garage sales were thrilled with the results. Here are some quotes from residents, “This was the best garage sale I ever had.” “I’ve had 3-day sales and had fewer shoppers than in just six hours today.” “I’ll do it again next year.” We had shoppers from Antioch, Fox Lake, Gurnee, Waconda, and Waukegan, as well as our neighbors in Round Lake Park and Round Lake Beach.
I hope that if you are considering having a garage sale this year, you will join Hainesville’s 20th Annual Garage Sale to make it even bigger and better.
If you want to be included, contact me by Wednesday, July. 24th Arrangements can be made by phone (847) 548-9249, or email georgeannduberstein@hainesville.org by leaving your name, address, phone number or email address AND whether you want the Salvation Army to pick up your leftovers. I will assume you will participate all three days unless you specify particular day(s). PICK UP WILL BE MONDAY, July 29th.
Label the leftovers “For the Salvation Army,” so the driver knows to take it. Put items by the garage unless it’s raining. Townhome owners make sure there are numbers by your garage or put the items by the front door. The driver will leave a receipt.
If you have not had a garage sale before and would like some tips, I can email “Helpful Hints” to you.
Good luck to all.
Georgeann Duberstein, Trustee
