Montgomery to Hold Community Garage Sale

The Village of Montgomery will hold its Fall Community Garage Sale from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 17, 18 and 19, according to a release from the village. Each year, nearly 100 households participate, and this year promises to be even bigger and better. The fee to participate will be $10 per address. Registration forms are available at the Village Hall, 200 N. River Street in Montgomery and on the Village website at www.ci.montgomery.il.us. The registration form gives the option of participating on all three of the scheduled dates or selecting specific days to participate.

The Community Garage Sale will be advertised in local newspapers beginning on Sept. 16. Garage sale flyers will also be created featuring a map showing all garage sale locations, plus a 15-word ad for each address describing the items for sale. Maps will be available at the Village Hall and on the Village website starting Sept. 14. The deadline to be included in the advertising is 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 4.

This event is sponsored by Montgomery’s Historic Preservation Commission. The $10 participation fee will help support Settler’s Cottage on River Street. For additional information, please call Debbie Buchanan at (630) 896-8080 ext. 1114.
