Stuff For Sale?
Annual North Slope Garage Sale to Take Place on Saturday, July 12th
It's time to clean out your closet and organize the attic in anticipation of the annual NSHD Garage Sale: Saturday, July 12, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Here’s how it works: Each family sets up their items to sell in their own yard. Maps listing participating homes are handed out the day of the sale; shoppers won’t receive the maps until 9 a.m. so you won’t have any early bird shoppers.
To Participate: Download the form (by clicking here) and fill it out. Attach a check for $5 made out to NSHD (cash will also do). This fee helps cover the cost of advertising and flyers; any additional funds go toward North Slope beautification and safety projects. Drop the garage sale form off at Judy Martin’s home (515 North M Street) by July 9. Questions? Call Judy @ 572-3059. |
