Lakemont Prepares for Second Community Garage Sale This September
Lakemont neighbors are getting ready to clean out closets, declutter garages, and make room for new treasures during the upcoming community-wide sale.
The Second Community Garage Sale will take place on Saturday, September 20, and Sunday, September 21, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. each day. This is a great chance for residents to give gently used items a second life while connecting with neighbors and bargain hunters from around the area.
Tips to Get Ready for the Sale
If you’re planning to participate, here are a few friendly reminders and helpful tips to make the most of your garage sale weekend:
-
Start early. Don’t wait until the last minute—sorting a little each day in the weeks leading up will make the process less overwhelming.
-
Organize your items. Grouping items by category (toys, clothing, kitchenware, décor, tools) makes shopping easier and more inviting.
-
Price things clearly. Use easy-to-read stickers or tags. Shoppers are more likely to buy when they don’t have to ask for prices.
-
Make it look appealing. Neatly arranged tables, racks, or bins will draw more attention. Consider wiping down items for a fresher look.
-
Have small bills and coins ready. Being prepared with change helps sales go smoothly.
-
Team up with neighbors. Multi-family sales tend to attract larger crowds, so consider partnering with friends down the street.
Beyond decluttering, garage sales are also a fun way to meet neighbors and strengthen the sense of community that makes Lakemont such a great place to live.
The Lakemont HOA encourages everyone to mark their calendars and either set up shop or stroll the neighborhood in search of bargains. With two full days to browse, there’s plenty of time to uncover a hidden gem or two.
