OUR ANNUAL METROPORT HUMANE SOCIETY GARAGE SALE

OUR ANNUAL METROPORT HUMANE SOCIETY GARAGE SALE

You either love them or hate them but either way there are a LOT of garage sales at this time of the year. The weather is just about right for a sale-warm and hopefully not too windy . One of the main problems if you are having a big garage sale and you have lots of stuff outside is the sudden storm . Hopefully we won't get that when we hold our Annual Metroport Humane Society sale this Friday and Saturday. April 26 and 27

Our members , friends and the general public always help us a lot by bringing all kinds of things for the sale . We always have so much that at the end of the sale there is usually loads of unsold stuff for us to donate to another worthy cause. There are bargains galore.

We have held our sales in all kinds of places. The first one was held at an old feed store in the middle of Grapevine which is now gone. It was great fun and we had people sleeping outside to guard our “stuff” the night before. It was quite a party!! Then the best one I remember was an unused store with loads of room and lots of cover. That was a great place as we had room for storage and it also rained on the day so we had excellent cover as well. Throughout the years we have held the sale in the forecourt of the local bank, at various churches and schools and also some kind members have also volunteered their front yards and garages.

That is what will happen this year. Our President is holding the sale at her house in Colleyville and because of this we can hold the sale on 2 days. Always a better thing to do.3420 ROLLING HILLS LANE off of Pool Rd (between Hwy. 26 and Hall Johnson Rd).

The great thing about garage sales are the strange objects that appear. There is always at least one that no one knows what it is but it usually get sold anyway. People are very generous and they know the money we make is for a good cause . We often have people that just come by , buy little but give a good donation anyhow. We thank them all.

Our volunteers spend a lot of time getting the sale ready,but also spend time talking with the customers and letting them know about our mission which is to help animals , especially in the local area and to provide low cost spay and neuter so no puppies and kittens get born that are unwanted.
