Yards and yards of yard sales

This weekend is the annual Eureka Springs event which we know as "Yards and Yards of Yard Sales" where lots of families have yard sales and they even give out sale maps at the city Visitor's Center. Last year the event drew hundreds, maybe even thousands of people to the area. We weren't prepared enough to put out anything for sale ourselves, but this year I am ready. It's just an easy way to sell stuff without the stress of planning your own sale. There is no advertisement needed since everyone is just going all over town looking for stuff for sale. Even though I don't have enough stuff to sell to go through all the trouble myself, since my neighbors are selling too, we should still be able to sell what little we do have. It's mostly kid's toys which usually sell well.

As for us, there isn't much we feel we need right now. The only major thing is a barbecue grill, which we have been putting off for quite some time. One luxury I wouldn't mind is an outdoor fireplace for our back deck. We would like to start entertaining friends and neighbors more and would be able to enjoy our outdoor spaces in the cooler months, as well as the added ambiance a fireplace lends.

Anyway, the yard sales start Friday, so wish me luck! I work all day Saturday at the library, so whatever doesn't sell on Friday will be donated to friends or charity.
