Although a community garage sale isn't in the cards this year - please post your individual garage sale on Peeps so your friends and neighbours can go treasure hunting!

Hi Eric,

Thank for posting this!   Great fun for the kids.

My kids are a bit young for orienteering right now but I would love to sign them up in a couple of years.

We are gauging the interest of having a second annual community garage sale and BBQ in Britannia on June 7, 2014 (the date is flexible).

Please tell us if you are interested in participating, volunteering, or if you have suggestions or ideas.

Thanks!

Wow -  that is news to me too!  I didn't know The Brittania pub closed down.

I vote for St. Hubert's or Bridgehead coffee in the Farm Boy plaza.

Hello, I found a set of keys at the end of Scrivens Street on the park bench.

The keychain has two keys, a FOB, and a Kiss logo.

Please contact me if they are yours.

Hi Terry,

Great way to celebrate the season and raise money for a good cause.  The kids would love to visit a farm to cut down a Christmas tree and feed the animals.   

I have many great memories of doing that with my family as a youngster.  

I will start the bidding at $25. 

Thanks,
Janna
