A Lot Of Goodies Need New Homes

A special kind of garage sale is taking place Thursday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. each day. The location is the Algonquin Township  Road District garage,3701 U.S. Route 14, between Crystal Lake and Cary.
Directions—Once on the Township site, drive straight back to the last garage on the right.

“Folks have brought in a lot of “stuff” they no longer need, and we are happy to help find new homes for it. Reuse is better than recycle!” A Defenders’ spokesman said, “We have everything from an organ to a vintage hobby horse to a futon, and, of course, lots of housewares and decorative items.”

Proceeds from the sale benefit the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. The group, formed in 1970, is dedicated to the preservation and improvement of the environment, and provides community residents with educational programs and volunteer action on pollution prevention, sustainable land use and energy and natural resource conservation.
