BEAVER--
Looking for bargains? You won't just find them at Good Will anymore.
On May 9th, the season of outdoor yard and garage sales officially returned to Beaver, Pennsylvania with the 2015 Town Yard Sale. The progressive sale spanning from River Road to Seventh Street continued a multiple-year tradition for the borough, fostering neighborhood camaraderie and resident cleanliness.
Locals went all out for the event, participating in large numbers as both buyers and sellers. Some sources even reported the most participants in the history of the sale this year. The added attraction of the Town Sidewalk Sale, in which Third Street Businesses hosted liquidations and promotions of their own, heightened excitement.
Merchandise included the typical yard sale wares-- clothes, toys and oddities --but a few sellers boasted interesting selections of artwork, antiques and household items. Missy Koshute snagged a brookstone iPad case and Keyboard from a neighbor's sale. "It was a great find," she says.
The best sidewalk sale display went to Sapling and Sons Snail Mail Supply Co. (although the judging was slightly biased). Sapling had an impressive array of specialty cars, holiday and party items available at discounted prices. Discontinued greeting cards marked down to $1 were the definite favorite.
Individual yard sale numbers are on the rise now that summer is here. Buyers can be sure to find at least one large sale being held every week in town.
