The annual town-wide yard sales in Coudersport are scheduled for Saturday Sept. 5 from 8 am to 4 pm., so start cleaning out your attics, garages, your husband's den and your backporch and dream about all the extra money you can use for Christmas shopping by selling your leftovers.
It's a fun filled annual event, sponsored by the Coudersport Chamber of Commerce and that draws hundreds of people to our community. Shirley Leete reports that 37 Yard Sales are already signed up.
If you want your yard sale on the borough map, contact Shirlee Leete before Friday, August 25 at 5 p.m. My phone numbers are (home) 814-274-8627; (cell) 814-335-2738 and e-mail (which must include "yardsale" in the subject or it won't be opened)- is shirlee@zitomedia.net
Hi Jim- Update- 37 sales listed so far. I've heard so much excitement about the upcoming yard sales on Sept. 5th and I'm adding the Special Olympics sale to the list as a courtesy to those who give so much of their time to this wonderful cause. It was reported in a newspaper last week end that there would be a small fee charged to have your name on the map. I agreed to do this again this year with the understanding that there would be "no"fee for listings. Our economy is bad here in Potter County and I imagine many families are having yard sales to raise extra money for children's school clothes or to help pay their taxes. It's wrong to charge a fee and therefore if the Chamber insists, then I'll pay for it out of my own pocket. I also plan to list each yard sale and the addresses on Solomons words the Monday or Tuesday prior to the yard sale date.
