Just sent this out to the 50 sales registered for the 2nd Annual Capitol Hill Garage Sale Day on June 13th. The purpose of CHGS is to give Capitol Hill a day to rally around to recycle treasures and find bargains. Registration is free. We’ll add you to the super useful online map or give you a space at the community sale location. The community location we’re working on is taking some extra special effort because it’s an extra special place. Stay tuned! Details soon.

Hi all —

Thanks for registering for the big sale day on http://www.capitolhillgaragesale.com/ — 2nd Annual Capitol Hill Community Garage Sale Day– June 13

We’re working with Sustainable Capitol Hill and Unpaving Paradise to make this year’s day even better. A few items of note as we approach June 13th.

 

• Last day to register is June 10th so we have time to put the online map together on the web site so spread the word now
• If you signed up for a space at our community location, apologies for the delayed announcement of the location — we’ve been working on something pretty cool and will hopefully be able to pass along specifics by end of this week. It’s a central, famous Cap Hill location but can’t tell you more yet. You’ll also need to supply your own blanket, tarp or small table to display your stuff so start planning! Oh, and no commercial vendors, please. Your participation is at the organizing group’s discretion and insurance and licensing requirements prohibit commercial use of the space. So don’t even try it! :)
• You’re welcome to begin and end your sales at any time you see fit. The community location will ‘open’ at 10a and shut down at 4p
• We’ll keep the e-mails to a dull roar but expect a few more communications as the date approaches
• We’re doing a lot of flyering for the event. If you’d like, you can help us out with more
• Please do your own traditional marketing for your sale including street signs, etc so people can find you. The maps help a lot but people still get lost. Plus, signs are half the fun.
