i know we had a community yard sale last year at sometime... it's slipping my mind when that was, does anyone know anything about it? more specifically, when it is? thanks!

I vaguely rembember that. In years past people have tried to organize a community wide sale with local sidewalk vendors. I haven't heard anything but let me do some checking and see if anything is being considered.

I got one reply that the CH Gardeners are not going to do this. I haven't heard from others who have been involved in the past.

I'll post whatever I hear.

i found this in the e-newsletter about last year's sale-- so it must be coming right up!

"College Hill to Hold Annual Community Yard Sale Saturday
Whether you're ready to clear out the basement and attic or ready to buy a few unexpected "treasures," you don't want to miss the big Community Yard Sale in College Hill on Saturday, June 2, beginning at 9:00 am and running through 2:00 pm. This is an annual event that gets bigger every time! It's sponsored by the College Hill Forum with your bargain-hunting pleasure in mind.

There are two ways to take advantage of the community-wide savings and sales. Many College Hill residents will set up shop at College Hill Presbyterian Church in the parking lot on Hamilton Avenue at Llanfair Avenue. Stop there first to see table-after-table of merchandise. Then, make your way through the neighborhood to sample all the private sales at 6090 Belleair, 6035 & 5646 Belmont, 6308 Cary, 1631 Harbeson, 1332 Hollywood, 5631 Meryton, 1560 Reid, and 1506 & 1541 Teakwood. There's a map of all the locations at the church lot.

It's a fun day and a great a way to meet neighbors and friends who are also on the prowl for that good buy! Want to participate as a seller? Call the Forum Events Team Chair at 542-3338 or email anitatriggs@fuse.net.

I haven't talked to Anita but another person from the Forum sent me mail that says there will be no yard sale this year.

This doesn't mean that neighbors couldn't get together and designate a day for a community yard sale. It wouldn't be organized by the Forum but I would be happy to put this on the community calendar. I'm certain the eNewsletter would be willing to mention this as well.

There have been some other interest in a College Hill Yard Sale.

I'm going to invite others to join this forum and perhaps there will be enough interest for the group to perhaps organize something even if it's just a mutually agreeable date. I would be delighted to promote this in the eNewsletter and Community Calendar.
