You’ve heard it advertised every summer for 16 years, so now is the time for you to find those items you never knew you needed! The proceeds from the Charity Garage Sale go directly to local charities. For many years, the Charity Garage Sale has been able to fully sponsor a Make-A-Wish child. It currently costs $5,000 to grant a wish for a child. In 2013, we made enough money to sponsor two Wish children. We hope, once again, to be able to fulfill a wish for a local child with a life-threatening illness; plus, make an annual contribution to McKay-Dee, and other local charitable causes. The garage sale will be held Friday, July 25; and Saturday, July 26 at 9520 E. 400 S., in Huntsville, at the home of Mike and Cindy Hillstrom. It will run from 8:00 a.m. to about 8:00 p.m. on Friday, and until 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. The garage sale is made possible by donations of items, which are now being accepted and collected. We have received tremendous support from Valley residents throughout the years. Please feel free to donate good furniture, working appliances only, sports equipment, clothing in great condition, shoes and boots, craft items, dishes, seasonal decorations, toys, games, and books in good condition. New items are also greatly appreciated.
