Thank-you to all the individuals who brought out items to the yard sale on Saturday. We hope you saw some success. We had some issues with signage, which most definitely slowed traffic to the sale. Because of the sign removal, clearly things were not as successful as we had hoped; therefore, we shall have another yard sale on August 30th.
50/50 Tickets
We raised a total of $96 on Saturday; the winning pot was $48. The individual who won declined to accept the winnings stating that they wished to donate it back. This is a wonderful gift that will go a long way, so thank-you!
Signage:
The following yard sale signs were removed either
before the sale, or on Saturday morning: two at Dawes and Victoria Park, two at
Dawes and Park Vista, and one at Crescent Town and Dawes.
We first became suspicious when someone asked me
why we hadn't put up signs. We had indeed put up 9 signs in total on Friday
evening.
Chelsea drove around Saturday night to remove those that remained, and that’s when she discovered the extent of the deceit. The signs were nowhere to be found, meaning that they had not simply fallen off, someone had to have removed them. We will not claim to know who did this, but will say that we find this intentional act to be shameful.

For future sales, we will refrain from posting
signage until the morning of the sale to reduce the opportunity for removal,
and will check on them throughout the day.
We were extremely pleased to see that individuals
had taken it upon themselves to put up signs, and for that we are very grateful.
Please, whoever did this kindness please let us know so we may personally thank
you.
