This Sale will have six departments: Antiques, Art, Collectibles, Furniture, Jewelry, Tools/Outdoors. This is the 32nd year for this well-known fundraiser for the Historical Society. All items purchased must be picked up by 2 p.m. on the sale day; payment is by cash or checks only for purchases under $150. Credits cards accepted only for sales of $150 and more. All purchases must be picked up by 3 p.m. No deliveries available.
Historical Society Executive Director, Mickey Miller explains: “We have collected some very special items from our generous donors. We encourage you to come and take advantage of the great values on gently used upscale pieces. And in the process, you’ll be helping our non-profit organization.” ABC Chair Walt Teasdale adds, “we have a massive selection of artwork and frames. Great selection of table lamps. Great furniture selections, especially rattan/bamboo.”
