September 20th Yard Sales

You might have something you don’t want anymore that someone else is looking for! Here’s your opportunity to make two parties happy.

The Orange Hunt Estates and neighboring Winston Knolls Civic Associations are partnering to sponsor community yard sales on Saturday, September 20. You have more than 2 weeks to gather those things or to plan your Saturday morning neighborhood shopping itinerary. If you are a seller or buyer, this is a great opportunity to take advantage of simultaneous sales covering a large area.

There will be advanced advertising and signs posted near area roadways on Friday, the day before, to promote the event. If you make your own signs, please wait until noon Friday to post them, and remove them Saturday afternoon/evening after your sale to eliminate roadway clutter. There is no rain date.
