OKLAHOMA—Gloria Graham.
This is a preliminary notice. June looks like a quiet month for our 15th annual Town-Wide Yard Sale: Saturday June 27, 2016. 9 am-3 pm. More details will be forthcoming. We welcome any suggestions, but here is a list of some of what we plan:
We will maintain a post on our home page where visitors or yard sailers can obtain information. As the date approaches we will , as before, post a list of all sales including what items are for sale at each location.
We hope that participants will help us. We will appreciate efforts to promote the event. Flyers will be available to use for that purpose. Or sailers can create flyers, banners or lawn signs. Social media promotions will help. Bring kids to the sales which are social events which visitors and Grovers will enjoy. Play music at your sale. And come up with unique sale promotions. We will advertise in town and out. And if you have a clever flyer we may post it online.
Yard sailers can sign up until June 26, 2026. Just email us at Blogfinger@verizon.net. We will not post the items for sale until a few weeks before the sales. Please send us your name, address, email and nearest cross street. Encourage neighbors and friends to join you in combining sales.
You can design your own sale, such as the hours. Just let us know.
There will be no rain date.
You will need a Neptune permit obtained at the Mother Ship for $5.00. Tell them that you are with the Town-Wide Yard Sale.
—This June there will be no “Art on the Porch” so we invite artists to show and sell their work as part of our Town-Wide Yard-Sales. Artists do not have to compete or pay to join in. They can sell art as part of a yard sales or at a personal sale, alone on that date. Just tell us your plans.
We welcome all art forms. I will be showing signed black and white photographs. See photo above .
—We invite participants to sell Ocean Grove memorabilia, art, photos, historic valuables, and ephemera like books, Camp Meeting stuff like annual CMA booklets, and postcards. There are OG collectors in town. OG beach badges are also collectibles. I met a lady in Florida who wanted to buy by OG badge right off my hat. And artists who sell OG scenics.
–If you are into crafts, try selling them.
–Consider selling plant cuttings and plants.; after all, this is the “Garden State.”
–You can sell vinyl records, CD’s and DVD’s, and there are many people who still use these formats; Just keep prices low or research the values; especially of vinyl! Beware of scams for vinyl. CD players are a good venue for kids
–Look for vintage anythings: such as childrens’ books–there are collectors. Antiques of all kinds are not so much in demand, but if you plan to sell some, be sure to get an idea of market prices. Some collect old cameras.
–Downsizing? Consider ridding yourself of stuff including cheap items or even free items to help neighbors. And if you have leftovers, just load up you vehicle after hour sale and go to any of the many charities near us.
–You can sell silver, especially sterling, but you are better off selling yours at specialty stores such as Belmar and Bradley jewelers.
–Get the kids into photography..there are digital cameras for children, and it is a good entry into a new way to communicate, be artistic and creative. Look for unused albums at our sales.
–Musical instruments, especially old ones. You could sell a French horn, but don’t hurt yourself.
NOTE: Blogfinger will not request a commission of any earnings made at our sales. The seller has to back up whatever they sell.
—Street musicians can set up at various sales. We envision solo or small ensembles . Let us know if you want to perform. You can put out a hat like they do in New Orleans.
—Bring your dogs, cats, and kids.
It will be a good chance to visit OG sites including the newly opened (scheduled for April) Nagle’s on Main Avenue, the newly restored Fitzgerald Fountain at Founders’ Park, Tent Village near the Great Auditorium, and our beachfront/boardwalk where revealing bathing suits are forbidden. (see photo below and see town beach rules.)
