Yard sale season is upon us again, and the John Stanford International School is helping us kick it off with their annual Yard Sale Tour this Saturday, May 15th from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm. Like last year, there are six houses throughout the neighborhood that will be hosting garage sales as fundraisers:

• 2200 N. 38^th St.
• 1818 N. 43^rd St.
• 4011 Corliss Ave N.
• 3823 Burke Ave N.
• 4714 4^th Ave NE
• 4401 2^nd NE.

This strategy is brilliant, because it takes the best aspects of a yard sale and a rummage sale and combines them, thusly:

• An excellent excuse to ride your bike (yard sale)
• An excellent excuse to strike up conversations with strangers (yard sale)
• Lots of stuff (rummage sale)

If you’d like to donate, contact Kelli Black ([email protected]) or Susan Schudie ([email protected]).

Also, advance warning that the following weekend, the Wallingford Boys and Girls Club will be combining the best aspects of the rummage sale with the best aspects of the rummage sale by holding a rummage sale on Saturday, May 22nd, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Club. Meghan Sweet writes:

All proceeds will benefit the Club’s free teen programs, especially our Keystone teen service group. We would love for the community to come out and support local kids by purchasing a book, toy or whatever. Also, if neighbors have items they might like to donate to the event, they can drop them by the Club anytime until May 20th – we are accepting everything except for adult clothing items.
