This inaugural event, held on Saturday, October 24, 2009, is history! Its great success means that we are likely to make it an annual event - so shoppers and sellers; be ready to do it again next fall! SHOPPERS: This was a great chance to "shop 'til you drop" in historic Old Escondido, including bargains on: Antiques and Collectibles Clothing Linens Hardware Tools Building Supplies and MORE!
The Google map has closed and we're pleased to say that the number of hits received reached 3,606.
OE RESIDENT SELLERS: Thank you for your participation. Our shoppers appreciated the number of yard sales they were able to visit and it appears they enjoyed our bargain prices.
For each of the 26 households who registered and paid the $10 registration fee, we are especially grateful. Thanks to you, we were able to place ads in the Pennysaver, the North County Times, and the Union Tribune as well as to print flyers, which were heavily distributed by volunteers.
Additional well-deserved thanks go to Yard Sale Committee Co-chairs, Sylver Kinsella and Dianne Ferguson. Other volunteers include Doug Eagleson, Patricia and Jimmie Spann, Carolyn Bonk, Stephanie Boren, and Carol Rea.
