Deadline extended for garage sale

By Lynsi Musselman

Residents who would like to participate in the Albany Chamber of Commerce annual city-wide garage sale still have a little over a week to sort through unused items to sell on Saturday, Sept. 12.

The event is traditionally held on the second Saturday in September to coincide with downtown merchants having sales.

Registration to get on the garage sale map has been extended to Tuesday, Sept. 8 for residents who would still like to participate.

Chamber manager Mary Beth Jones said there are seven sales currently registered.

The fee to be included on the map and receive a paper sign is $10 this year.

“Once registration has been paid in full, a sign will be printed with the name and address of the participant,” Jones said.

She added that the signs do not need to be returned after the sale.

Free maps will be printed and available the day of the sale.

Jones said she will open the Chamber office from 7:00 to 10:00 a.m. on Sept. 12 to hand out maps.

“After 10:00 a.m., maps will be left at the door for shoppers to pick up,” Jones said. “The office will not be open before 7:00 a.m., so no early bird shoppers.”
