FROM ADA ICON - More than 500 bargain hunters were on hand at 8 a.m. Saturday when the buzzer rang to start the Wilson Sporting Goods annual Garage Sale. Some shoppers arrived the night before and others lined up several hours before the 8 a.m. start of the sale. 

Bins and bins of footballs—bargained priced at $10 up to $35 for the Super Bowl "Duke" ball—were available. And many other Wilson-made items were for sale, such as Badminton sets for $10, basketballs and soccer balls for $15.

They told the village needs an ordinance to govern access management in certain parts of Bluffton.
