The other week my husband and I went to the Denver Yard Sale Extravaganza, we thought it was great and came away with loads of goodies and had many chats with the locals. The weather was unbelievable and added to the enjoyment. The starting place was the school where they sold raffle tickets and refreshments, they handed out a map highlighting the homes that were taken part.
Anyway, with Barroway Drove being one long stretch of road, thought the same idea might be a great community event. Most of us have stuff we want to get rid of or no longer use and many of us have hobbies and interests that could make good sales as well as promoting our talents.
So what about a Barroway Drove Yard Sale come fun day extravaganza?? and for raising money for the village hall Im sure people wont mind donating a couple of quid and if there is a raffle and refreshments offered, that could raise some money the village hall field could be open to do a car boot the same day? we could also have a competition for kiddies, something like a mask competition, where they all make a mask based on any theme, animals, aliens, favorite character etc maybe have someone doing face painting at the village hall? a bouncy castle or just keep it simple as a yard sale. My girls are all grown up now but I was always involved with playgroup / school / village festivals all the way through their childhood when I lived in Watton, Foulden and Mundford, I really enjoyed it. Now Im into gardening and growing my own produce (or trying anyway) so you can guess what I will be selling at my yard sale
If this kind of event went ahead, then I will be more than happy to create and print the poster and help wherever possible.
What do you think?
