WEEKEND — Huge garage sale fundraiser scheduled in Port Angeles

PORT ANGELES — Thousands of items will go on sale during the Clallam County Historical Society’s annual garage sale, conducted from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. today and Saturday.

The sale will be at the Lincoln School site at Eighth and C streets in Port Angeles.

“It’s set up like a department store,” said Kathy Monds, executive director. “We have a little bit of something for everyone.”

Special sections

Special sections are reserved for tools, clothing, furniture, crafts, kitchenware, jewelry, books and toys.

In addition, “we have a collectible section that has some spectacular items in it,” such as furs, crystal and special fair glass, Monds said.

The sale will continue next weekend with a half-price day from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7, and a buck-a-bag day from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 8.

Volunteers, who have been working on the sale since April, will be on hand both weekends, Monds said.

18th annual

This is the historical society’s 18th sale and is its major fundraiser.

A members-only pre-sale was conducted Thursday afternoon.

Proceeds go toward the renovation of the old Lincoln School site as a museum and research library for the historical society.

Last year’s sale netted the historical society more than $28,000, Monds said.
