Clear out, cash in, and join Australia's largest second-hand treasure hunt as the Garage Sale Trail comes to Parkes Shire this weekend and next! Holy Family Boot Sale, a highlight of the event, will take place on Saturday 9 November, from 9am to 1pm at the Holy Family School Oval, Albert Street, Parkes.
The Holy Family Boot Sale Coordinator, Mrs Pat McCallum, said Holy Family Parish are looking to raise funds. Sellers can register for a $20 car boot site fee, then all profit made is your own!
"Mark it in your diary. We're selling everything from handmade goods to antiques and even locally made pottery. There really will be something for everyone!," Mrs McCallum said.
"Not only will you find second-hand delights in your neighbourhood and help keep stuff from landfill, you'll also help our Parish to continue to work within the community," Mrs McCallum said.
The event promises more than just bargains, with a delicious morning tea and sausage sizzle for lunch available for all visitors. A $500 fuel raffle will also be drawn at the end of the day.
Cr Bill Jayet is encouraging everyone to get involved, highlighting the value of reusing items within the community.
"The Garage Sale Trail is a brilliant opportunity for residents to pick up unique finds, declutter their homes, and make some extra cash, all while supporting local causes and keeping items out of landfill," Cr Jayet said.
"It's fantastic to see Parkes Shire leading the way in sustainable practices by embracing this event. I encourage everyone to get out there, explore what's on offer, and support our community," Cr Jayet added.
The Garage Sale Trail will see over 400,000 Australians participating nationwide on the weekends of 9-10 and 16-17 November, showcasing the circular economy in action.
