Community Yard Sale Recap

Our second annual Community Yard Sale was a great success this year! We worked in conjunction with Vinton County, which was having its own County-wide yard sale on June 2. The front yard of our Albany location was filled with vendors from in and around Vinton County. We had 21 vendors overall, and they all brought really wonderful items to sell. Through the course of the yard sale, over 400 bargain-hunters came to peruse the yard sale items as well as the rest of our Albany location.

AmeriCorps*VISTA Duane Bogart, who organized this wonderful event, would like to thank Brandi Boggs at the Vinton County Chamber of Commerce, Christy Steele of Sojourners, Constantine Faller of Athens' Own, Pata Sabatino and Jume Risner for providing food, Diamond Quarry for their donation of sand, White's Mill and Dave Brenner for providing flowers, Bedrock Rentals, and all of the wonderful vendors and shoppers who helped to make this event a success!
