Offer open for group garage sale

RESIDENTS of Inverleigh and surrounds are invited to open their garage and declutter as part of a townwide event.

The Inverleigh Garage Sale Trail is set to run on the Saturday, 19 and Sunday, 20 November with the aim of getting the community involved all over town.

With 15 households already signed on, coordinator Robyn Kerdel said she’s putting the word out for more people.

“This is a small but friendly town and it’s good to really push community events like this,” she said.

“After the pandemic we were all looking for ways to get people out and about and mixing together again and that’s how it happened last year.

“This is a great way to continue that while giving us all a chance to clean out some of our junk.”

Following the last year’s event Ms Kerdel said she’s taken over from the from the team of community members that ran.

Going at the same time as a nationwide Garage Sale Trail festival, the Inverleigh event is taking place independently.

Ms Kerdel said she’d like to see between 20 and 30 households involved and the main aim of the event is to foster community connection.

“We’ll have some houses set up about two or three kilometres from the general store and others at the centre of town,” she said.

“So, it looks like it will be a bit of a drive-around trail like last time.

“There’s a lot of new people moving into town as well so they can even downsize while getting to know people around the community too.”

Expressions of interest will be accepted until about the middle of October. To get involved, call Ms Kerdel on 0419 305 132 or email [email protected].
