Mundare Transforms into Garage Sale Paradise

Mundare Transforms into Garage Sale Paradise

Michelle Pinon - News Advertiser

The Town of Mundare was turned into a paradise for garage sale enthusiasts on May 1 as hundreds of people scoured the streets in search of great deals.

There was a plethora of items to choose from. Items ranged from hub caps to binoculars to puzzles to books. Pretty much anything and everything you can think of was up for sale as a total of 47 garage sales were held throughout the community.

Enthusiasts came from all over the region including such places as Mannville, Lavoy, Vegreville, Holden, Chipman, Andrew, Sherwood Park and Edmonton.

Mannville resident Darlene Fadden said she tries to go to as many community garage sales, and has been doing so for the past eight years or so. “We look forward to this each year.” She likes to support local and was just glad to be able to get out and about and do something, like so many others.

Vegreville residents Susie and Henry Froese had their one-year-old daughter Jesenia in tow and were enjoying the outing. The family was spotted at the Mundare Recreation Centre that was full of tables as five families collaborated to host one big sale in the facility.

Bonnie Kennedy was shopping with Martin Flanagan. She was pleased to find jigsaw puzzles as she spends several months in the winter putting the pieces together.

Firefighters with Mundare Fire and Rescue were kept busy with their concession as well as three young entrepreneurs from Good Dogz who set up shop outside Baba’s Attic & Coffee House on Main Street.

The annual event, hosted by the Town of Mundare, was a great way to kick off spring and probably a sign of things to come in the weeks and months ahead in other communities throughout the region.
