Boy Scouts hosting annual yard sale

Boy Scout Troop 21 in Bluff Park will host its annual yard sale and fundraiser in the parking lot of Bluff Park United Methodist Church on Sat., March 5, 2016, from 8 a.m.-1 p.m., according to the troop’s Facebook page.

 The yard sale, now in its fourth year, will raise money to allow the scouts to buy new tents and supplies for the coming year. Individual Scouts also set up booths at the event to raise funds for summer camp, High Adventure Trips and Eagle Scout projects.

 Troop 21 is currently accepting donations for the sale, including clothing, furniture, household items and working appliances. “We have even had an aluminum fishing boat, pianos and refrigerators donated before,” according to the Facebook page.

 The Troop is happy to pick up items from donors. To schedule a pick-up, call Laura Lewis at 205-824-2920 or 205-492-2930.

The sale is open to the community, and participants are welcome to keep all proceeds they collect. The cost for a booth is $25 and includes space and all advertisement, as well as pick-up service for unsold items sellers do not wish to take home.
