Shoppers looking for deals on a Saturday morning. The first weekend in May, the annual Highway 71 Community Garage Sales take place. This year's sales start on Friday, May 2 in the evening and end on Saturday, May 3 around 1:00 pm. Audubon, Exira, and Brayton participate in the event, and all three towns offer their own map.
At each garage sale, a person can find a variety of things. From furniture to clothing, all ages can be satisfied. If one is lucky, he or she might even find some puppies or kittens for sale. Many men look for the tools and lawn items. Senior Austin Miller usually searches for plates and cups, or anything that catches his eye. He enjoys shopping with his parents and siblings.
Faith Fliflet looks for clothes and shoes. The weirdest thing she has seen at a garage sale was an Ouija board. Any deals are great for a young adult going to college. College students also are known to look for furniture and things for their dorm or apartment.
Putting a garage sale together is a lot of work. For Jennifer Mosinski, this is nothing new, but it is still much work. The preparation involves gathering the items together, pricing them all, and then setting them up. Jennifer teams up with other families or friends to make the garage sale even bigger. “Adding food and drinks to the garage sale always cheer people up. They get to shop and snack at the same time!”
