Garage Sale Days
————————————————————
July 25 and 26th @ 9:00-4:00PM
For 33 years, the Grand Lake Association (GLA) has hosted this popular community event, and this year is no exception! The Grand Lake Garage Sale is the perfect opportunity to clean out your garage, attic, and closets while connecting with neighbors and shoppers from all over. Why should you participate? It’s simple! Hosting a garage sale not only helps you declutter and make some extra cash, but it also brings the community
together and offers a chance to score some great deals. It’s a fun and profitable way to support the community and meet your neighbors. When you register, your address will be included on the official map, making it easier for bargain hunters to find you. If you’re not a GLA member
but still want to participate, a $10 donation (or a single membership) is requested to help cover the cost of advertising. To sign up, contact Jeff Duly at (989) 884-1859. Maps will be available after 5:00 PM Thursday,
July 24th at the following locations: Birch Hill Store, Portage Store, Sand Bay Trading Co., Grand Lake Library, and the PI Harbor Association Clubhouse.

This is a wonderful opportunity to declutter, make extra cash, and support a long-standing community tradition. We look forward to seeing you there!
