Ely is serving as one giant marketplace this weekend.
That’s on Saturday, to be specific, as that’s the date for the Ely Chamber’s 13th annual City-Wide Rummage Sale Business Crazy Day and Used Equipment and Watercraft Sale.
The one-day event includes rummage sale hours from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. across town.
The day usually features many sales in dozens of homes and garages.
The Chamber bills the event as a prime opportunity for people to clean up their basements, attics, sheds and garages and turn them into cash.
Meanwhile, usually about a dozen local businesses also participate in the event, with many offering in-store savings.
Also part of the event are sales of used equipment and watercraft.
The Chamber invites people to come out to “explore dozens of neighborhood rummage sales brimming with clothing, household treasures, and even outdoor and sporting goods.”
Businesses involved generally have in-store and sidewalk sales and outfitters have deals on used equipment and watercraft.
A map listing the venues and businesses that are participating will be available at the Chamber including on the day of the event from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., as well as online at www.ely.org/citywide.
The event has proven to be popular in its brief history, attracting area residents out for bargains as well as others coming from other communities.
