Ponoka’s Community-Wide Garage Sale planned this August

Jul 11, 2022 | 3:28 PM

The Town of Ponoka will be hosting its second annual Community-Wide Garage Sale event on August 12 – 14.

Ponoka residents are being invited to this town-wide event to host a garage or yard sale as an opportunity to sell unwanted items and explore new-to-you treasures across the community.

“We are excited to organize another community-wide garage sale event that will not only be a lot of fun for the community, but is also expected to attract visitors from surrounding areas to Ponoka,” said Andrew Jones, Manager of Parks, Recreation and Facilities for the Town. “Last summer, the community-wide garage sale had a strong turnout and was a great success.”

To participate, residents simply need to set up their own garage or yard sale at their home. Vendors can choose to operate on one or all three days.

Town officials say they will be working to create a Community-Wide Garage Sale map this year.

Participants can email communications@ponoka.ca or call 403-783-0153 to enter their garage or yard sale onto the map by providing the Town with their first and last name, physical address, and the dates and times of their garage sale by August 5. The deadline is August 7 by email.

The map will be posted to the Town’s website the following week.

Residents are also being encouraged to post their garage or yard sale to the outdoor bulletin board at the Ponoka Arena Complex (4410 54 Street).
