Spring Community Garage Sale Planned For Montgomery

MONTGOMERY, ILLINOIS -- The village of Montgomery announced that its spring community garage sale will take place May 16-18 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Each year, nearly 100 households participate, and this year’s event is shaping up to be bigger and better, officials said.

Registration forms are available at Montgomery Village Hall, 200 N. River St., Montgomery, and on the village’s website, http://www.ci.montgomery.il.us/DocumentCenter/View/732.

The registration form gives those interested the option of participating in all the scheduled dates or selecting specific days to participate.

The community garage sale will be advertised in local newspapers beginning May 15.

Flyers, which are in the works, will feature a map showing the garage sale locations, plus a 15-word ad for each address describing the items for sale. Those are expected to be available at village hall and on the village’s website starting May 13. The deadline to be included in the advertising is 4:30 p.m. May 3.

The cost to participate is $10 per address. Proceeds will help support Settler’s Cottage on River Street.

The spring community garage sale is sponsored by the Montgomery Historic Preservation Commission.
