PIE Garage Sales Set For Saturday
Osawatomie will be full of bargain hunters Saturday for the Partners In Education Communitywide Garage Sale.
More than 40 sales had been registered by Tuesday morning and organizers said late registrations will be taken all week. The annual sale brings crowds of shoppers to town, making it a good time to have a more successful personal sale.
Individual and group sales will take place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday with the PIE sale at the auditorium beginning at 7 a.m. Maps with registrants’ addresses and a summary of items to be sold will be available for $1 that day.
PIE also is planning a follow-up sale from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, June 12, with such bargains as everything you can get into a paper sack for $3 and make-an-offer deals.
Families and organizations may register their own sales for only $7.50 for an individual sale or $10 for a multiple-family or group sale. The registration fee covers the cost of advertisements in local and surrounding newspapers. Participants will be given a sign to place at their sale locations to show they are part of the citywide event.
Donations of sale-quality household items will be accepted from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday at the auditorium, 435 Main St.
Another perk of registering with PIE for the citywide sale is the benefit of being able to drop off at no charge any unsold sale items at City Auditorium from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday. These leftover donations help boost the fundraiser. However, organizers no longer will accept leftover items on Saturday from any person or group not registered due to a lack of space and sorting time. Those who plan to drop off items must register prior to the weekend of the sale.
Donations from those not having personal sales will be accepted on Friday at City Auditorium. No broken or unusable household items, soiled clothing, batteries, paint, tires, waste and large appliances will be accepted.
Sale registration forms are available at Moon’s Hometown Market, Donna & Viola’s Shirts Etc. or from organizer Donna Eichorn. For more information about donating items, volunteering or registering, contact Eichorn at (913) 755-4962 or Samantha Branson of PIE at (913) 259-1101.
