We are planning a Town Wide Yard sale on May 8, but so far no one has expressed interest. Last October we had a curb-side event. 3 families participated, and it was successful. There was no crowding, and they all wore masks..
If some families want to join for May 8, we will promote it only as an OG curbside event and will not promote it to out-of-towners. There will be no newspaper ads. Just on Blogfinger and with a few fliers downtown.
We will go ahead even if only a few families are interested. We do not anticipate large numbers of sellers such as we had in the past (up to 60 at the peak.)
But if the number remains zero, we will cancel. Decision to be made before April. Contact Blogfinger@verizon.net if you intend to participate.
Interestingly, the CMA and the Chamber of Commercials will be busy inviting tourists into town when the safest activities would be small events for residents. If any of you plan to organize small events (such as porch concerts and curbside sales) we will help you promote them. Attendance on Blogfinger is down, but we still reach an average of 500 hits per day.
Also please help us by sending news information, scoops, rumors, and photos. Your name will not be used unless you so request.
