GLA GARAGE SALE & MARKET DAY
Saturday, July 19
Need to do some spring cleaning? Clean out the clutter and turn your unused items into cash. We will be collecting names and locations in June to place on the map. Last year our sales earned enough to send a check to a local charity. If you would like to participate, register with Linda Vitkauskas by phone (269-303-7787) or email (vitkauskas3@comcast.net). Be sure to register by July 1 to be included in the advertising and on the map.
On July 19 place your items in your garage or yard roadside and wait for the shoppers. Ads will be placed in all area event publications. Participating locations will be listed on a Gravel Lake map and distributed to shoppers.
