Residents across Middlegate Village in Copperfield are setting out their signs, pricing their treasures, and making room in their garages—because the annual Fall Garage Sale is just around the corner. This highly anticipated neighborhood-wide event takes place on Saturday, October 4, 2025, starting at 8:00 a.m. sharp.

Whether you’re a seasoned seller or a first-time participant, this weekend offers a prime opportunity to clear out unwanted items, meet neighbors, and even make a little extra spending money before the holidays. Organized by the Middlegate Village Community Association, participation in the fall sale is open to all residents in the subdivision. Participating homes will set up their garage and yard displays early Saturday morning, with shoppers expected to start rolling through the neighborhood right at 8:00 a.m.

Tips for Middlegate Residents Participating in the Sale

With just two days to go, here are some last-minute preparation tips to help residents get ready for a successful sale:

• Declutter smartly. Focus on items that are clean, gently used, and easy to carry. Kids’ items, small furniture, seasonal decorations, tools, and kitchenware tend to sell quickly.

• Price everything clearly. Use stickers or tags so shoppers don’t have to ask. Pricing in $1–$5 ranges for smaller items often encourages quick sales.

• Advertise your big items. Posting on local garage sale groups, Nextdoor, or Facebook Marketplace can bring in early interest—just note your street and participation in the Middlegate sale.

• Get change in advance. Be sure to have small bills and coins available, especially if you’re pricing under $20.

• Team up with a neighbor. Multi-family sales attract more traffic and can make setup and cleanup easier.

• Don’t forget signage. Use balloons or bright signs to attract attention, especially at intersections near your street. Just be sure to remove them at the end of the sale.

• Be ready early. Shoppers tend to start showing up right at 8:00 a.m., or even a little before—so plan to set up by 7:30.

The community-wide sale is expected to draw a strong crowd, especially if the fall weather cooperates. Residents are encouraged to park carefully, keep driveways clear for pedestrians, and be mindful of trash or packaging left behind.

Whether you’re selling or shopping—or a bit of both—this Saturday is all about community, conversation, and clutter-free closets. Thanks to everyone in Middlegate who helps make this a fun and friendly fall tradition!
