For all those bargain hunters and thrifty savers, you’ll want to put the following dates on your calendars:
HEY DAY GARAGE SALE
NORTH GRENVILLE MUNICIPAL CENTRE
Friday, June 7, from 6pm to 9pm
Saturday, June 8, from 9am to 1pm
Hey Day is one of Eastern Ontario’s largest indoor garage sales. It is entirely organized and staffed by volunteers, and all proceeds go to support the Kemptville District Hospital, patients and staff.
Last year’s event raised almost $50,000 and attracted over 3,500 buyers who left with smiles on their faces, carrying bargains and fabulous deals of all kinds. There will be tables full of sporting goods, clothing, toys, art, small appliances, linens, books, outdoor furniture, jewelry, china, kitchen dishes and gadgets, furniture, a boutique section, and a horticultural section. You’ll also find a bake table and snacks. You’ll be amazed by what you’ll find!
Please support our hospital by donating items in good condition to the North Grenville Municipal Centre during the following times. There will be volunteers to help unload:
Wednesday June 5, 1pm to 7pm
Thursday June 6, 11am to 7pm
Plants for the Horticulture Section can be dropped off Friday June 7, from 9am to 12 noon.
Unfortunately, we can’t take some items, including: large appliances, electronics, mattresses, pillows, baby items like cribs, playpens, high chairs, strollers and car seats, tires, car batteries, suitcases, sports helmets.
We need more than 200 volunteers to help us sort and price donations, and to staff the sale tables. So 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 kdha.heyday@gmail.com, or call 613‑447‑4492. You will also find updates on Facebook at KDHA Auxiliary.
Hope to see you there!
