Got Spring Cleaning Fever? Well, start clearing out the old to make room for the new! Linwood Farm’s Annual LF Neighborhood Yard Sale scheduled for Saturday, May 7th from 7AM-12 NOON. So as the springtime weather approaches, take advantage, clean out the garage, the attic and your closets to prepare for our yard sale.

New Set-Up Option: If you only have a few things to sell or live in the “back” of the neighborhood and want to be more visible, we will open up the Pool Parking Lot for residents to set up one 6-8 foot table and have some surrounding space around their designated slot in the parking lot. The parking lot will be divided into 15 slots around the perimeter. In order to reserve your spot, you must fill out the online form on the website to reserve your spot. There are only 15 slots and it is first come, first served. Fill out the online form to reserve your spot. Signage promoting the Parking Lot Sale will be displayed and the area will be marked off so no cars can drive in the parking lot. We hope this helps your sale be safe and successful! Please note: you may drive your car up to the parking lot to unload, but please plan to move your car by the start of the sale, we want there to be as much room as possible for people to walk around and for everyone to be safe. Please plan to park your vehicle away from the surrounding pool parking lot area, as we want the yard salers to have room to stop and see YOUR STUFF!

Suggestions for a Successful Yard Sale:

• Go in with a neighbor(s). The more “stuff” you have out is more appealing for those to stop by. Or sign up for the Parking Lot Spots for your sale!
• If you live in a cul-de-sac, considering finding a friend who lives on a more visible street. Or sign up for the Parking Lot Spots for your sale!
• Clearly label all your items ahead of time. It’s frustrating for yard salers not to know the prices and may end up walking away.
• Make sure you have petty cash and coins to make change.
• Decorate your mailbox with a sign or a balloon to let yard salers know you are participating.
• Have music playing in the background. It helps to make it more inviting for people to stay and look longer.
• Be willing to negotiate. It’s part of the lure of a yard sale. Everyone wants a “deal!”
• Include the kids. Have them set up a bake sale or a lemonade stand. It’s fun for everyone and helps kids work on money skills!
• Keep your pets in the house or back yard. Some people are frightened by animals.
• Consider donating your unsold items at the end of the sale.

If you are not participating, consider checking out everyone else’s stuff. You never know what you are going to find! Let’s support one another!

We hope you have fun!
