Fallingbrook Annual
Community Garage Sale
Every spring, the
Fallingbrook Community Association organizes a community-wide garage
sale. On that day, any family wishing to participate simply holds their
own garage sale. The advantage is that we do the advertising, and there
are many, many participants. People come from far away in order to shop
at our garage sale.
To enhance your experience, we suggest that you place posters at the end
of your street, advertising your event. Don't forget to take them
down afterwards. During the week before the event, we place dozens
of signs on major roads like Tenth Line, Trim and Innes, to remind
everyone that the big event is coming.
Next Garage Sale:
First good Saturday
in May 2012
Because the weather in May is often rainy, we will announce the date
of the garage sale on the Wednesday before the event. You
can either check this web site frequently, or look for our signs on
major roads, or subscribe to our
email notification list.
In the event of rain, try putting out
your stuff on Sunday. Use your judgment, as we cannot coordinate a rain
date with so many people. You are free to extend your event
to Sunday in any case, because it's your garage sale.
After the event, please don't forget
to remove any signs that you may have put up on street corners.
