n 19 years, the Liberty Lake Community Yard Sales has grown from a two-neighborhood sale to a highly anticipated, community-wide event. Visitors from New York to Alaska schedule trips around this celebration of community, camaraderie and that treasured bargain. Beginning on page 5, find the complete listings and locations for the 194 registered homes in this year’s guide. But be warned, that number has grown even since the maps were finalized, meaning well over 200 yard sales await you for this special June 9 event. What follows is a Q&A that will get you pointed in the right directions for this year’s event, but don’t tarry. The listings, maps and other tips follow.
Q. A.
OK, so I can see on the map where I want to start my shopping. What should I be looking out for as far as traffic and parking? It really depends upon where you are headed, but in most cases you should be prepared to find legal parking along the perimeter of the neigh-

borhood and then travel the rest of the way as a pedestrian. In areas with heavily clustered sales, driving directly to a home will likely have you experiencing the closest Liberty Lake ever comes to resembling Manhattan at rush hour — stop and go ... and mostly stop. Not a lot of parking. Q: Are there areas I shouldn’t park? A: Yes, and you’re going to have to use some common sense on this one and obey general parking and traffic laws. For instance, do not park in bike lanes, in front of fire hydrants, in intersections or blocking driveways. Members of the Liberty Lake Police Department bicycle patrol and volunteers from Liberty Lake SCOPE will be canvassing the event to help enforce the law while assisting with traffic flow and any public safety concerns. The on-duty phone number for the Liberty Lake Police Department is 509-218-4899. Q: Where do I go if I have a question or an emergency? A: As always, dial 911 in an emergency. The Spokane Valley Fire Department has a presence at the event not only at Pavillion Park (see map on page 4), but is
able to navigate an emergency utilizing its gator utility vehicle. For general questions or lost and found, head to Pavillion Park and visit the organizers of the event, the Liberty Lake Kiwanis. They are manning an information booth along Settler Drive amidst the commercial vendors and sales. Q: What else is at Pavillion Park? A: Several food or other vendors will be in the park (see list on page 4), as well as bathrooms and a place to play or relax. Q: Did you say bathrooms? A: Yes, though you don’t have to be at a public park to find one. The Kiwanis Club has arranged for portable bathrooms throughout the community, which are labeled on the following maps. Q: What else is happening in Liberty Lake today? A: Great question. The event corresponds with the Liberty Lake Farmers Market, which runs each Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Look for it on Meadowwood Lane (see the maps on pages 4 and 6). The Liberty Lake business community is also nearby with several restaurants and stores to fill your needs, some of which have advertised some great deals in this guide. Of course, be sure to visit Liberty Lake all summer, whether it’s to attend a Spokane Symphony concert at the park or play a few of the community’s 45 holes of golf. To find out what’s happening at any given time, check in at www.libertylakesplash. com. Thanks for visiting Liberty Lake!

Liberty Lake Community Yard Sales
So you want to have a yard sale ... A few tips to make sure you’re ready for the big day Putting on a successful yard sale requires a bit of planning, starting with getting registered for the event. Following is a Q&A to make sure you’re set to sell.
Q. A.
What?!? The annual Yard Sales are this Saturday? Is it too late to participate?
If you’re reading this and the event’s not over, then the answer is “no.” But it’s important to register. Thousands of people didn’t come to this community because you decided to hit your garage door opener, so please support the future of this event and the great community service organization that spends countless hours making it possible, the Kiwanis Club of Liberty Lake. The cost to register is a mere $10, and the online registration link at www.libertylakesplash.com/ yardsales will still be up through the weekend of the sale. Q: OK, I’m in. Now what am I forgetting? A: We know the feeling. There’s no end of preparations to be made to pull off a great sale (check out just a few tips located at the end of the Map B listings on page 5). One thing to keep in mind is to not wait until the last minute to have adequate cash on hand. Some local banks and credit unions have been overwhelmed with the demand leading up to past sales. Our advice: Do this well prior to Saturday morning, and call first. Q: How do I stave off the early birds
while I’m trying to set up my sale? A: People will come before Saturday at 8 a.m., and some even like to make Friday scouting visits. Some sellers don’t mind these early prospects, but if that’s not you consider a couple options. First, a polite decline usually is respected. If you want to make the message more noticeable, check out www.libertylakesplash.com/yardsales/printable_signs.asp. Longtime Liberty Lake resident Lonnie Castillo was kind enough to share with The Splash a sign concept he developed for the sales a few years back. Three versions of the sign — all with the header, “Be Kind” — help give friendly messages to visitors about blocking driveways, obeying traffic laws or not shopping early. Post the sign in a window or mount it and bring it outside. Q: Anything I may think is OK but really shouldn’t do? A: For one thing, selling food isn’t as easy as firing up a barbecue and putting up a sign. There are county regulations that apply, and health inspectors have attended past events. Also, public officials discourage you from inviting random shoppers into your home for any reason. There are public restrooms available throughout the com-
munity (see maps throughout this guide to point people in the right direction). Q: When the event is over, are there arrangements for me to donate the things I didn’t sell? A: Definitely. The Kiwanis Club has arranged for a truck from a local charity, ARC of Spokane, to go up and down Liberty Lake streets on Monday and Tuesday (be particularly careful to distinguish your charity items on trash day). If your items are somehow missed, call ARC at 3286326. No large items, please. Of course, there are several charities who would appreciate your donations. If you miss the ARC truck, give your favorite nonprofit a ring. Q: I’ve got more questions. Who can I contact? A: Scott Draper is helming the event for the Kiwanis Club this year. He is not only interested in your questions, but your suggestions for future years. E-mail him at scott.draper@edwardjones.com. Really, any Kiwanian would be happy to help you. (They are all eerily friendly.) Track a club member down at the information hub at Pavillion Park on Saturday.

the mr J Band Returns With
Tales from the Gold Mine tells the story of Gold Mine City, an old west town that was looking for treasure in all the wrong places. Eventually the wicked Big Bad Joe buys up the whole town, including the church, and turns it all into a string of stores to sell stuff! Big Bad Joe advertises that “Stuff is what happiness is made of!” Well, Deputy J isn’t going to let this takeover continue. He rallies the town folk to dig down into the ‘pure gold’ of the Bible. The conflict ends in a showdown as Big Bad Joe comes face to face with truth of God’s Word. This classic cowboy tale helps young and old alike look carefully at where they find real treasure … Pure Gold!
