Get up early Sunday morning and score some treasures at the Community Yard Sale at the Dallas Farmers Market. Starting at 9:00 am, you can peruse the mother of all city-wide garage sales. Details below.
We have all heard the saying, “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.” That adage holds true as the Dallas Farmers Market brings people together from across the city to barter and haggle over things that may have been stored in a garage or an attic somewhere for years. The Market will kick off its season hosting the Community Yard Sale on Sunday June 7, 2009 from 9:00 a.m. 3:00 p.m.

The Market welcomes downtown residents and the metro community to take this opportunity to clear out their closets, basements, and storage units and sell gently used items at the Market. When an item has outlived its usefulness, it is possible that it might be useful to someone else. The Market’s Community Yard Sale is a great way for individuals to find environmentally responsible ways to reuse items that might otherwise find their way to local landfills.

Shoppers will find used household items, clothing and apparel for adults and children, children’s toys, collectibles and much more. The Community Yard Sale will continue the first Sunday of the month throughout the season. If you are interested in participating in the community yard sales, please contact Elizabeth Scoggin for an application; she can be reached by phone 214-939-2242 or via e-mail at, elizabeth.scoggin@dallasfarmersmarket.org.

This is nothing new. According to legend, if you stay up all night you can find love. Somewhere between the berry baskets and the palms.
