Yard Sale
This year the Council elected to hold their annual Yard Sale in June, from Friday June 20th to the final wrap up on Monday morning 23rd.
The event actually started on Thursday 19th, when Knights arrived to set up the Tables and place them around the perimeter of the Church Parking Lot.
Also on the 19th as Knights were loading contents at Brother Peter Vanderlaak’s barn on Victoria Road in Carrying Place, onto trailers.
On Friday morning (20th) the trailers arrived early, and were unloaded, and contents were placed onto tables, sorted by type – electronic, china and cutlery, toys, tools, book, Music LP’s and CD’s, etc.
The people start arriving by 9am or 10am, as contents may be still arriving from storage.
The Council had a BBQ set up and were providing Hot Dogs, Sausages, and Pop/Water.
By the end of the day, there is not much left, and remaining items are covered with tarps to protect them from the elements.
A few stragglers will come out on Sunday morning and pick over the leftovers. The cleanup begins with the loading of leftovers.
A final cleanup is undertaken on Monday morning (23rd). We collapse the Tables and store them away for the next time. A garbage run was made.
Our June Yard Sale was another tremendous success. We raised just over $5300.00.
This will enable the Council to donate funds to our Charitable causes – TMHF, Food Bank, and so on.
Over the course of the four days, we had 77 Knights on hand helping out in various ways. This added up to 745 hours of donated time.
