Community Yard Sale
HCPNA is organizing our first community yard sale for all residents of the Historic District of College Park. Below is
some general information, but sign-up and more details will be published as they become available.
- Date: Saturday, October 16, 2010
- Times: 8:00 am-3:00 pm
- Where: At various residence house in Historic College Park
(basically north of John Calvin) - Fee to participate: $10-$12, final TBD. This will allow the HCPNA committee to place ads in the newspapers and online, place notification and directional signs throughout the neighborhood (with the city's approval since it is a group activity). Also the sale will be posted on a distributed map, and each sale will receive a mailbox banner or balloon and have yard signs pointing to their location.
The basic idea is to coordinate the marketing and logistics for a large number of individual yard sales on the same date and time. Each participating homeowner would conduct their own yard sale during the designated time period and would benefit from the expected large turn out of buyers. Each sale will also have the opportunity for a charity organization will pick up unsold items after the sale as needed.
For more information about this community event, to volunteer to help with organization or to register please contact: yardsale@hcpna.org
Update: On 8/16/10, College Park City Council has approved the placing of promotional signs several days before the sale as well as directional signs the day of the sale. Also, we will be able to register participants as a group rather than requiring each homeowner to apply in person. However, please note that the two yard sale per year limit is still in affect for this event. If you have already had two sales this year, you will not be able to participate in this group yard sale event.
