Montgomery, Illinois - Montgomery's Spring Community Garage Sale is Thursday, May 18, Friday, May 19, and Saturday, May 20, from 8A-4P. Participating addresses must register in advance. Residents can download forms online at montgomeryil.org or pick them up from Village Hall (200 N. River St.) between 8:30A-4:30P Monday through Friday.
The event is an excellent opportunity to spring clean or clear out items no longer needed while supporting the efforts of the event sponsor, the Montgomery Historic Preservation Commission. The $10 registration fee includes a listing on the Village's website and a 15-word ad listing types of items for sale, including the map of sale locations for shoppers to download, advertising in local newspapers, and supporting a great cause. The deadline for inclusion in the advertisements (running the week of the garage sale) is 4:30P on May 5. Promotions will run in local newspapers beginning May 17, and maps with addresses will be available on the website on or about May 15.
The annual event is a fundraiser for the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). The HPC's mission to archive and maintain the history of Montgomery is made possible through fundraising efforts such as the garage sale, the annual Montgomery Fest Car Show, the Cemetery Walk, and community donations.
