DIVERNON VILLAGE WIDE
Saturday April 30, 2022
Rain or Shine
Spring is in the air and that means City-Wide Garage Sales. All the junk and stuff you have cleaned out over this long COVID time can be sold and passed on to someone who will put it to good use. Like they say, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”
The City-Wide Yard Sale is Saturday April 30th starting at 8:00 a.m. Individuals, businesses, churches, clubs, and organizations are invited to participate. Interested parties may call the Village Hall to register their address and type of goods for sale.
We will have maps showing the location of each participant. If you would like to have your address on the map, please contact the Village Hall no later than Thursday April 28 by the end of the day (4:30). The location maps will be available to pick up at garage sale locations throughout town. If you would like more information, please call the Village Hall - 628-3416.
Get ahead with your spring cleaning, and do something useful with all that extra stuff… SELL IT!
All Divernon residents will receive 10% off at Encounters in addition to other discounts being offered. This applies to the gift shop as well. Located at: 480 West State Route 104.
