Community garage sale up for grabs
Interested in sponsoring a huge community garage sale?
The Shannon Service Club of Bluffton will no longer sponsor the community garage sale, craft show and chicken barbecue held each February.
Duane Bollenbacher of the club told the Icon, “We are announcing it at this time, hoping that some group or organization may continue this project for the betterment of Bluffton and surrounding communities.
“We always held it the last weekend of February, and those dates are still open at The Centre.”
Groups interested for more information may contact Bollenbacher, 419-358-7365, or l Stephanie at The Centre, 419-358-8533.
Bollenbacher said he believes that the garage sale has taken place for 18 or 19 years. It began with the BASO Club, passed on to the Exchange Club and was then picked up by the Shannon Service Club of Bluffton.
He added that the Shannon Club will continue serving the needs of Bluffton in every way possible.
