Hello neighbors,
Well, we beat the monsoons and had a very successful 3rd Annual Community Yard Sale.
We had 16 neighbors donate to participate in the sale and balloons and streamers were everywhere.
Our directional signs and advertising were done by Raechel Johnson and a huge THANK YOU to her and husband Don for their very successful efforts. We had shoppers from Flagstaff & Kingman as well as many of our surrounding communities.
This year we added a Brats or Burger Lunch. This turned out to not only be a delicious and inexpensive deal but fun for all. Thanks to Jason & Cindi Doud on Longbow. Jason, did the smoking of the brats and burgers and Cindi kept everyone comfortable in their beautiful backyard as well as keeping everything stocked for the meals. A special thank you to Annie Burdikoff for the donation of some of the burgers and buns as well as Jason when we ran out of brats. We hope to do this again next year.
We took suggestions from shoppers last year and incorporated them by adding signs at the beginning of each street and noting the number of sales on each street. This was well received and seemed to be informative.
All in all, we all had a very successful day. Both shoppers and sellers. If you have suggestions for next year please pass them on to the POA. Continuous improvement is our goal.
Last, but not least was the $20 drawing. We drew Sandy Teesle on Robinhood. Congratulations and Thank You to Sandy as well as to everyone who participated.
