Before doing laundry...

Harrison Township Garage Sale Weekend

If you like garage sales, you'll love being in Harrison Township the weekend of July 17-19.  On streets and in neighborhoods all over town, people will be joining in the fun of community-wide days for garage sales.  Any township resident planning a garage sale this summer is encouraged to hold it at their home on this weekend.  Sponsored by the Neighborhood Presidents Association, this project is intended to promote neighbor-to-neighbor interaction.  "The goal is for the residents of Harrison Township to get out in the community and speak with their neighbors and also take advantage of some great deals," said Jack Kuntz, Assistant Development Director for the township.  The presidents are hoping this will give the various neighborhood associations an opportunity to spread the word about when and where their groups meet and to explain some of the unique projects their groups are working on.
