Need a place to set up your sale?

WE CAN HELP YOU FIND A PLACE.

Vendors are encouraged, but not obligated, to set up their sales in 1 or 2 central locations in each town for convenient, ‘One-Stop Shopping.’

Some town has central locations while others do not. Each town is free to organize themselves in the manner that works best for them.

You may find several vendors at the community center, the fairgrounds or perhaps downtown sidewalk sales or business in the country who elects to hold their sale at their own location.

Each town will have a few scattered garage sales.

The list of central locations and contact information for each town is available here as a printable list.
