Sat., Sept. 22nd, 8 am – 12 noon, Pinckney and Old West Lawrence Join Forces for Garage Sale Event

Last year, at least 27 households participated.

Link to the current map of participating households

A benefit of the neighborhood-wide sale is that the addresses of all sale locations are publicized. We ask that each Pinckney participant in the sale donate a small portion (15%) of their proceeds to PNA. Last year, we raised almost $90!

If you decide to participate, we ask for your sale to be “open” at least from 8 am to 12 noon. The coordinator for this event, Amber, will need your address (and would like your name, just for her to know you). Please email her at amber@pawshwash.net or contact her via cell: 785-218-2280.

Other things to consider…

  • Event staff will perform park/parking clean-up on the night of the 4th.
  • Event staff will also have a second crew coming in on July 5th at 10 am to do a 3hr walk around the neighborhood.  Any neighborhood help is welcome and appreciated!
