    Default A FREE garage sale!

    I spent the Saturday at the music school. dd had a rehersal in the AM for their CD release and then after lunch Ds had an orchestra rehersal and then a recital.

    Well around the courner from the school I noticed a garage sale at a church and I made a note to visit it during our break!

    Well itwas a community FREE day! Everything was FREE! They had clowns, bouncy castle, balloons, face painting for the kids. Free bar-b-que hotdogs, drinks and coffee, free car wash and all the garage sale items were FREE! It was a community outreach.

    The children had fun,we had a free lunch and I got two pair of shorts, nice pants (old navy) and Gap shirt for DS, a nice denim dress for me, a like new backpack, 3 pkgs of disney, princess and barbie valentines (unopened) a new pair of slipper socks, PJ's for Dd and an English china mug!

    It was fun to watch bewildered seniors come in to get their carwashed and keep asking is it really ALL for FREE????? What a huge RAOK!

    What a great Idea and outreach! I am going to suggest this for our church too!

    How fun! Glad you got a chance to participate.

    I saw, a while back-- where a church did free oil changes for single moms, as an outreach too. . . I thought that was a good idea as well.

    That is such a wonderful thing. Congratulations on your items.
