Latest Garage Sale Success

Thank you to everyone who came to our big garage sale, braving the rain on day 1 and/or popping in on the spontaneous day 2 — you helped us raise over $3,000 in sales, food sales, and donations!

We are ever so thankful to the many who donated items, those who made food, and everyone who came out to volunteer.

We’d like to give a special shout out to our many kind neighbours for going above and beyond – you donated, purchased, hosted your own sales, and several of you heroically offered canopies to enable the sale to go on despite the rainstorm!!!

We had a grand time, and we think everyone who came by did too!

Giant Garage sale raises $1,900!

On July 6, our Giant Gordon Head Garage Sale raised $1900 selling used goods and delightful snacks!

Three Gherkins hosted the event on Granada Cr., and five neighbours joined in with their own sale to make it an massive event and much bigger draw to the garage sale crowd.

We probably had the best snack sales of any neighbourhood sale — with Syrian treats provided by Hanaa and Mahmoud, Chinese noodles from Linda, and cookies for those with a sweet tooth!

Here are some photos from a busy, exhausting and exciting day (plus one from the day before!)
