There's also the Yard Sale day at or near the John Stanford School on Saturday, but we're still waiting for details on that, which we're not grumpy about at all.

Don't forget: Wallingford Farmer's Market starts at 3 pm today, Wednesday, at Wallingford Center. Check out highlights from last week in our Wallingford Market Report post.
