Kemptville’s giant garage sale, Hey Day, is just two weeks away! On Friday June 9th from 6 to 9pm and on Saturday June 10, from 9am to 1pm, the doors of the North Grenville Municipal Centre will open to the 60th Hey Day garage sale offering treasures galore to shoppers at low, low prices.
Always a big attraction, the Book Section will once again be loaded down with great books at great prices. If you’re an avid reader and have books to donate, we will gratefully receive them. Donations can be dropped off at the Municipal Centre on Wednesday June 7, from 1pm to 7pm, and again on Thursday June 8, from 9am to 8pm.
Hey Day is an important fundraiser for the Kemptville District Hospital and run by volunteers from the hospital’s Auxiliary. All money raised goes to the hospital for the purchase of equipment and services used in the treatment of patients.
We would like to give a shout-out to Chin Chin Coffee Roasters from Russell who are vendors at the Sunday Kemptville Farmers Market. They raised money in support of the hospital by offering their customers extra coffee for a donation. Thank you, Chin Chin Coffee!
And if you’re able to volunteer some time to help out, we would love to hear from you. We’re also looking for a truck and driver to help move some Hey Day items from the hospital to the Municipal Centre. Please contact us at [email protected] or call 613-447-4492.
