| August 1999 Now Or Never:
Get thee to the 'World's Largest Garage Sale'
The last, best chance to get rid of all that stuff clogging up your house and storage
areas is just around the corner.
The third biannual "World's Largest Garage Sale" takes place under the cover
of the UM parking garage from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 18. Vendor setup is from 7
to 8 a.m.
The last sale, held in May, featured more than 50 sellers and thousands of shoppers.
"The things that most people are hankering to clean out of their basements and
garages are the same things that students will do anything to get their hands on for new
apartments and dorm rooms," said Andrea Schmitt, coordinator of the UM Advocates,
which sponsors the garage sale as a club fund raiser. "Furniture, housewares, clothes
and music all go like hotcakes."
The parking garage is just off Campus Drive, next to the Mansfield Library.
Vendors from campus and community may rent parking spaces for $10 each and 8-foot by
30-inch banquet tables to display their cast offs for $6 each.
Registration forms are available now from the Information Desk in the University
Center. For more information, call the UC Information Desk at 243-4636.
