Here’s a press release about the Middleport Community Yard Sale in our area coming up soon. Now is a good time to go in those bookcases, boxes in the basement and you’re sure to find something that someone else would love to have. Don’t laugh, I found an album of Saturday Night Fever and a great coffee grinder that hangs on my kitchen wall at a yard sale. My favorite things to shop for are cookbooks for my collection.
Yes, it’s fun to see what goodie’s lurk in the piles of unwanted stuff in front yards all over Middleport. Old copies of exercise VHS , well, I pass those over at a glance. Free plastic cups with worn out names and sayings. Everyone is different when it comes to yard shopping but as a former library clerk, books are the things that draw me in. Also, pieces of tupperware are a great find, it lasts forever.
Haven’t you always wanted to put your stuff on the lawn and hang out all day visiting with the local folks? You can do it, you’ll have fun and maybe make some extra cash. Maybe I’ll see you around the Village. I’ll be the one with the Tony Stewart coffee mug and I’ll be looking for cookbooks.

Thanks to Patt Fagan for all the details about the upcoming sales..
Residents are eyeing their trash while they are spring cleaning for anything that they can sell at the seventh annual Middleport Community Yard Sale Saturday, May 2 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
All residents are encouraged to set up and sell their wares in their yard, garage or driveway. The sale continues to grow each year has been a great success and residents are already calling the Village Hall to see if the sale is on again – and the answer is YES!
There will be hot dogs, pop and chips for sale on Vernon St. near Park Ave. across from the Middleport Library to benefit the Barge Canal Art Center’s scholarship program for Roy-Hart students.
Residents can sell their oldies but goodies, and it doesn’t matter how much they have to offer. Any money they make is theirs to keep as, publicity is being provided by volunteers from the Barge Canal Art Center and the Middleport Area Tourism and Beautification Committee.
