Our local park hosted a community garage sale on Saturday. For $10, residents could rent a space and sell their unwanted junk. We didn’t participate, but we did go to check out everyone’s else stuff. It was so much fun! We spent about an hour visiting all the booths and while there were some professional vendors there, most were just regular people trying to make some money on their old treasures. Everyone was really nice too. I wish we had the kids because it would have been a lot of fun giving them $5 each and seeing what they got for it. I only spent $0.50 and that was on a Harlen Coben paperback. It doesn’t even look used; the binding is pristine. I almost got a Trivial Pursuit game for $5 but decided against it since I suck at that game. Now I have garage sale fever. I’m guessing these community garage sales must happen in other towns, so now it’s just a matter of locating one.

    Not in Geneva that I’m aware of. Naperville does.
