Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 5th—it’s time for the Bear Creek neighborhood-wide garage sale! This annual event is a fantastic opportunity to declutter, find great deals, make a little extra cash, and connect with your neighbors. The sale will run from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

Here are some tips to help you make the most of the day:

1. Sort and Organize: Start by going through your items and sorting them into categories. This makes it easier for buyers to find what they’re looking for and helps you stay organized.

2. Price Items Clearly: Use price tags or stickers to clearly mark the cost of your items. Consider grouping similar items together and pricing them as a bundle for a quick sale.

3. Prepare Your Space: Set up your sale in your yard or driveway. Make sure to have tables or blankets for displaying items and a few chairs for yourself. A shaded area or canopy can also be helpful if the weather is sunny.

4. Advertise: Spread the word about your sale! Use social media, local bulletin boards, or community groups to let people know about the event. The more people who know, the better the turnout! Your friends at My Neighborhood News will post about it in their comprehensive Community Events calendar, also!

5. Get Ready to Bargain: Many shoppers love to haggle, so be prepared for some negotiating. Having a flexible attitude can help you close more deals and make your sale a success.

6. Bring Cash and Change: Make sure you have plenty of small bills and coins for making change. A cash box or pouch can help you keep track of your earnings.

7. Have Fun!: Remember, the garage sale is as much about connecting with your community as it is about selling items. Enjoy the day, meet your neighbors, and make some extra space in your home!

We can’t wait to see what treasures you’ll find and what bargains you’ll offer. Best of luck, Bear Creek!
