Deadline Approaching for FM 95 Garage Sale Registration

Local residents will soon have the opportunity to join together in one location to purchase and sell items straight out of the garage, however the deadline to sign up is fast approaching.

The FM 95 Neighborhood Garage Sale will be held next weekend. Events take place Saturday at The Knox County Fairgrounds beginning at 7 a.m.

The garage sale is geared toward residents and not businesses or vendors.

That’s according to Galesburg Broadcasting Company Operations Manager Brian Prescott who tells the WGIL Morning News, that the event is much like a community wide garage sale, except the goal of the centralized location is to bring people together to sell their items.

“We’ve seen this done in other areas before, and other communities have done it before, where they have their sales in one big area,” says Prescott. “We thought the Knox County Fairgrounds would be perfect for this–with Eric and Ted on the morning show at FM 95 hosting the event–having a whole lot of fun as people come out and bring their stuff to sell.”

Prescott says a feature of the sale will help out a community organization as well.

“The Knox County Nursing Home Dietitians are serving biscuits and gravy. They’ll be having hot dogs closer to the lunch hour as well. They are raising money for the Alzheimer’s Association, and The Knox County Nursing Home’s Memory Care Unit.”

Both indoor and outdoor spaces are available for residents wishing to sell. The deadline to register ends tomorrow.
