City Wide SC Garage Sale
September 1, 2010
Once again this year, San Carlos Together is organizing and hosting the San Carlos Annual City-Wide Garage Sale. This year, the event will take place on the weekend of October 2-3, so you have plenty of advance notice to start digging through all of those neglected treasures in the deep recesses of your garage. Look at the bright side — now you have something to do over the upcoming Labor Day Weekend!
In order to have your address included on the list that will be circulated to all of the treasure hunters, you must sign up for the City-Wide Garage Sale on the San Carlos Together website. You can access the sign-up page by clicking here.
I will be joining the garage sale group this year, but I don’t look forward to going through everything…. but, it will feel good when it is done.
