Did you know that yard and garage sales in the U.S. really got their start in shipyards in the early 1800s with “rommage sales,” where the yards would sell unclaimed cargo at a discounted rate? Check out this neat infographic that details the history! For more information, visit http://www.dailyinfographic.com/the-evolution-of-the-yard-sale-infographic.
And then make plans to visit Plainfield for the annual town-wide FOSH Garage Sale this Sunday, May 17th between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. It’s rain or shine!
Funds raised will be used to provide a scholarship to a graduating senior at Plainfield High School and for tuition for Spring and Summer classes at the duCret School of Art for local elementary school students. This is a worthwhile initiative that benefits children throughout the City of Plainfield so please register today!
