Annual Lake View ‘Mega Garage Sale’ Sets 2013 Date

The community's biggest garage sale series is back with neighbors collaborating to have as many houses join as possible.

If there’s one thing the Chicago suburbs have over Lake View, it’s the abundance of garage and yard sales. 

Let’s change that.

Community group Hawthorne Neighbors is hosting its second annual “Mega Garage Sale” on Oct. 19 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The hope is to round up as many area homes as possible for one day full of thrifty finds.

Homeowners in Hawthorn Neighbors’ boundaries—Belmont to Addison, Clark to Racine—are banding together, setting up tables and getting ready to sell. 

A map of participating houses will be available on Oct. 11 so shoppers can easily navigate between homes. In addition, every house with a garage sale on the big day will have a red balloon as a sign to come over to dig through piles of goodies.
