Strathmore’s first annual Parade of Garage Sales

Parade of Garage Sales    
 
One man’s junk is another man’s treasure! That exact quote is another reason summer is so exciting. People of Strathmore have this love for garage sales.  We get up every Saturday and spend time with our families searching for treasures.  We never know what we are going to find but that is the best part!  So why not have a whole day dedicated to garage sales? That is exactly what we thought.  A small group of us are organizing a parade of garage sales on June 1 from 10 a.m to 3 p.m.! What a great day to come out to Strathmore and spend a Saturday with your families! We have the exciting first annual parade of garage sales sponsored by Debbie Murray with Real Estate Professionals, which is not just a bunch of garage sales.  Kristel Lang and I are having a garage sale at 10 Maple Place to raise money for our Dog Jog team.  For those that do not know the Dog Jog is a small walk to raise money for the Calgary Humane Society.  Christine Petovello has a very excited little 5-year-old who plans to sell lemonade up in Hillview.  It is great to see all ages in the community excited about this.  We have businesses that will be putting on a special garage sale blow out! Hope Church has their table sale going on and the youth club will also have some amazing things for the public.  Spring Fest is happening June 1 down at the Ag Society with a ton of family things. It is definitely a great day to get the family out and enjoy what Strathmore has. If you are interested in registering for the Parade of Garage sales please phone 403-934-3550 and leave me a message with your name, number, and address so I can get you on the map.  This is FREE thanks to Debbie Murray, The Strathmore Times and the volunteers putting it on so don’t miss out! We need all addresses registered by May 20 in order to get them on the map and in the Strathmore Times for those that are wanting to shop. So watch in next week’s Strathmore Times for your parade of garage sale map!
