Community Garage Sale features bargains and fun for all

Maine Township's 15th Annual Community Garage Sale is scheduled for rain or shine on Saturday, Sept. 21, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the parking lot at Maine Township Town Hall, 1700 Ballard Road, Park Ridge.

All shoppers can register to win a children’s bicycle that will be given away. Free coffee will be provided courtesy of Maine Township Supervisor Laura J. Morask, and donuts and lunch items will be available to purchase. Don’t miss this popular event filled with bargains and fun for the whole family! All proceeds from the event benefit Maine Township’s summer camp for at-risk youth.

“Our garage sale is one of our most popular events and allows kids to go to our Summer Adventure Camp,” said Supervisor Morask. The camp program, coordinated by the Township’s MaineStay division, gives at-risk youth, ages 8 through 13, the opportunity to participate in cultural and recreational experiences to which they may not otherwise have access.

Sponsors include Journal & Topics Newspapers, Senior News 50 & Better, Suburban Resource Guide for Seniors, Chicago Behavioral Hospital, International Bank of Chicago, Parkway Bank, Law Offices of Laura J. Morask, Garvey’s Office Products, and Arrow Road Construction.

This year’s event is expected to draw between 1000 to 1500 attendees plus approximately 80 exhibitor groups. For more information about the garage sale or becoming an exhibitor, visit www.mainetown.com/garagesale.
