Have some stuff you’d like to get rid of? Want to sell it somewhere you’ll have more buyers than in your driveway? St. James Lutheran Church on South Lake Drive is holding a Community Yard Sale this Saturday, March 2, from 7 am until 2 pm. It’s open to the entire community. Spaces cost only $5 for a 10x10 spot, plus $5 per table if you don’t bring your own. They’ll have a food truck there as well, so stop in for breakfast and some bargains. Contact the church for more information at 359-2122.
