Get on the map for the Millbrook Community Spring Sale in April

MILLBROOK — The third annual — and quite popular — Community Spring Sale is accepting sign-ups to participate in the event scheduled for Saturday, April 28. Suggested hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Residents who have items they wish to sell are invited to set up on their lawns on that day for a village-wide community tag sale. There are no rules for this self-organizing event. If they wish, participants can even begin earlier on that day or stay open later.

There are no fees to participate. One advantage to the event is that goods are reused, recycled and sent on their way to new homes. The further advantage rests in joining in a spirit of community, visiting with your shoppers and just having neighborly fun doing it.

Residents desiring to participate can get their yard sale listed on the Google map that will be distributed widely to let visitors and shoppers know the locations. Residents should send an email to millbrookspringsale@gmail.com, providing name and location to be listed.

Anyone wishing to provide a donation to help with printing costs or willing to post flyers to get the word out should email the organizers at the same email address.
