NINETEENTH ANNUAL HAWKS AVENUE YARD SALE

Any local Strathcona resident is sure to know or at least heard of the Annual Hawks Avenue Yard Sale. It's a time of year when everyone rounds up their old treasures, gently (and not so gently) loved items, and take part in a very unique community event. "It's one of the most fun events of the season," says local realtor and neighbour Rick Stonehouse. "A great way to meet your neighbours and share your excess treasures." Be sure not to miss this year, marking it's 19th Anniversary.
Sunday, June 14th, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Hawks Avenue, in Strathcona. $2 will be collected from vendors to help cover costs of advertising
