Eagle Garage Sales!

Eagle Garage Sales are almost here!  They are always the held the first full weekend in June.  This year the dates are June 6 and 7.  It's just $2.00 to register your garage sale.  This puts your address on the map that is delivered to every house registered to be posted those days.  It also helps pay for the advertisement of the garage sales.  Last but not least it allows you to place your unwanted items at your curb Sunday to be picked up by Bits and Pieces of Elmwood.  This is a great opportunity to have a successful garage sale.  The area garage sales are very popular and Eagle is lucky to have a good following of people just waiting for the first weekend in June to come around!  I will try and have the registration on here to be downloaded and printed out at your convenience.  Otherwise, they can be found at Eagle State Bank, Lou's Grocery, The One Eyed Dog, American Exchange Bank, Kabredlos, Casey's and Corner Cafe.
