LINTON\u2019S day dedicated to one man\u2019s trash and another\u2019s treasure is back next month.<\/p>\n
The Linton Town Wide Garage Sale is set to take place on Sunday 12 November, and organiser Jenny Stuart said the aim is to help households get rid of some clutter and make a bit of pocket money.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not only for homes, but for groups like the Historical Society, the men\u2019s shed or the school, who can have their own stalls like a sausage sizzle for example.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe option is always there, so it\u2019s a good opportunity for the town as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms Stuart said the day is not just about bringing bargain hunters to town, but all about community, and it creates a \u201cwonderful buzz\u201d throughout Linton.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt can showcase the town to the people, and organisations can possibly gain membership from it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cLinton can be a quiet little town, and it shows that we can run something, it can be quite successful, and it doesn\u2019t take too much effort.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s up to each household to manage their own sale on the day, but Ms Stuart as the lone coordinator organises the map, advertising, and balloons.<\/p>\n
On the day, free maps of the homes and groups involved will be available from the Linton Takeaway, with printing donated by The Printer Wizard.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy aim is to cut down on ad costs and put that money towards buying some Bali flags, which can be used year in, year out, and we can hire or loan them out to other garage sales,\u201d Ms Stuart said.<\/p>\n
The 2022 event saw 26 registered garage sales and people from nearby towns Happy Valley and Snake Valley have even joined in in the past.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had some people out on the main street last year, and that\u2019s a lovely thing we hope we can do again,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019ll see if we can set up around the community hub.\u201d<\/p>\n
