More photos and listings to come Thursday night.  There will be a ton more than is advertised due to space and time.  This is such a large collection to feature and very diverse.

Important Shopping Information;

Parking;  Parking will be rather limited.  Please note that the city has posted NO PARKING on the side of the street that the home is located on.  You have have to park a block or two away from the home and walk.  Please pay attention to all city signs regarding parking and please be aware of driveways etc.  There is good parking on Government street or W. Main, if you are able to park further away and walk that is helpful. 

Numbers for entry;  I will hand out entry numbers for early birds at 7 a.m. on Saturday to an orderly line.  Entry is going to be limited even with the size of the house.  Please be paitent if you do not want to wait I suggest getting there early.

Since this sale will be held in two part there will not be an official discount day for the first part.  Our standard discount day will take place during part two of the sale on Sunday!

Old clothing, boots or closed toed shoes are recomended.  A flashlight may be helpfull as lighting is limited.  If you are allergic to dust maybe a mask.  This is not the best sale for small children either.  If I think of any other helpful tip I will post soon!
