When you start your spring cleaning and are thinking about discarding any used items, please remember the Watch Lake/North Green Lake VFD Auxiliary's (WLNGLVFDA) annual garage and bake sale in May.
Items should be in fairly good condition and when donating small electrical appliances, indicate whether they are in working condition or not. No large appliances will be accepted (stoves, fridges, washers or dryers) as these items are very difficult to sell and the fire department has to dispose of them if not bought.
If you have any items to donate, please contact the writer at 250-395-9082 for drop-off.
Bake & Garage Sale
The WLNGLVFDA bake and garage sale will be held at the Sonny Johnson Memorial Fire Hall (Hall #2), 5771 Green Lake Rd. North on Saturday, May 20 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
There will be plenty of baked goods for sale as well as a variety of items from the garage sale. Breakfast sandwiches will be sold from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Pop, water and coffee will be sold during the event.
