Sunday, July 31 is the date for The First Congregational Church of Marion Summer Yard and Vendor Sale. This is a community wide event, hosted by the church. It happens from 12:00 Noon to 4:00 PM in the parking lot at 144 Front Street (between The Marion General Store and Kate’s Simple Eats).
Members of the community are invited to reserve spaces to sell their household goods, toys, nautical items, garden equipment and more. We also welcome vendors to sell their products and crafts. The cost for a 10 x 10 space is $20, which also includes a table plus two chairs.
Our church thrift shop, Penny Pinchers Exchange, will be open during the Yard Sale. The Church Bake Tables will be filled with delicious desserts, homemade pies, cakes, cookies, gluten free baked goods, candy and more from our church’s best cooks.
Find treasures of all kinds – antiques, household items, boating and gardening equipment, children’s toys and games and so much more at the Yard Sale Tables. Come find new items at the Vendor and Craft Tables to get an early start on your holiday shopping.
Enjoy fresh grilled seafood – catch of the day – for a special lunch or mid-afternoon snack. Of course, there will also be family favorites of hamburgers and hot dogs, along with assorted beverages. As a special added treat, Michele Richardson, a well-known professional jazz singer, will perform some favorite songs in the afternoon.
If you want to rent space at the Yard Sale, email the First Congregational Church of Marion office at: office@marionfirstchurch.org. Please include your name, address, phone number and the number of spaces you wish to reserve. Participants need to contact the church office and pay their $20/space in advance of the Yard Sale.
This community event has something for everyone and for all ages. Come sell some items and make some extra money. Come for lunch, then browse and find some special treasures for your home, yard and boat.
