MILLBROOK — A steady stream of bargain hunters took advantage of perfect weather at the annual “Great Whale of a Weekend Rummage Sale” at Grace Church on opening day, Friday, March 4.
The three-day event that ended with a Sunday bag sale, offered a grand selection of clothing, art, children’s items, furniture, jewelry, housewares, collectibles and more, artfully displayed throughout both floors of the church’s social hall.
Reflecting on the event, volunteer Lisa Lacey said that in addition to offering high quality items for sale at really low prices, a further advantage is that it invites people to experience the church.

“It’s also a great way to recycle,” Lacey said, noting that items were donated by numerous community members, items that were finding new usefulness and appreciation as they moved into other area homes.
