Fort Meade to Unload Boats, Treadmills, Excess Items

Officials at Fort Meade have some spring cleaning planned, as they will hold a sale of used equipment ranging from treadmills, children's furniture and even boats and campers.

The Fort Meade Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation (FMWR) office will hold a special sale on March 23 and 24, with a wide variety of items to be sold "as-is." The sale will take place at the Fort Meade Pavilion.

Active duty military members will get first dibs on March 23 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. The public can shop on March 24 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Anything left after 1 p.m. on March 24 will be discounted at 50 percent off.

All items will be available for viewing, but not for sale, on March 22 from noon to 5 p.m.

I scanned the updated inventory list (attached here and also available at ftmeademwr.com). There is certainly an eclectic mix of items up for sale, including:

• 224 banquet chairs
• Three dance floors, each comprised of 20 3x3 wooden squares.
• 17 elliptical crosstrainers, six treadmills and four steppers.
• 16 bowling balls (all 16 lbs.).
• A large amount of kids furniture
• Sea pro boat, with trailer
• Two kayaks
• Two John Deere riding mowers
• Two Aerolite campers
• 15 Apple computers

All items must be paid with cash or credit card and buyers must be able to haul away their purchases themselves.
