Castle Pines community garage sale May 15 & 16
By Elean Gersack
It’s that time again … time to part ways with the old to make room for the new. Each year in mid-May, the community is abuzz with folks from far and wide looking for a great deal.
If your kids have grown out of toys, clothes, equipment, and more, or if you have re-modeled and you have old furnishings, now is the perfect time to de-clutter. If it’s been a few years since you last took part or if you are new to the area and brought along some unwanted treasures – this year’s event is for you!
Mark your calendar for Friday and Saturday, May 15 and 16, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day. Plan a late-day barbecue with friends, play a little music, and make it a fun neighborhood weekend. The Castle Pines Connection will be out and about taking photos and handing out prizes for most creative sales. If we don’t find you, find us! Take photos during your sale and send them to us at editor@castlepinesconnection.com and you might be featured in our June issue.
