Historical June 1986 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
Saturday, June 14 is the date scheduled for the annual Rosedale Rags to Riches festival that gets the summer off to a great start. Rags to Riches is sponsored by the Rosedale Neighborhood Association, but really benefits the entire Skinker–DeBaliviere Community, and participants from Washington Heights and Parkview are welcome.
This year there will be a special book sale that will help raise needed funds for the continued publication of The Times of Skinker DeBaliviere.
There will be some additional advance publicity in other areas of the city in order to attract more people and provide a greater opportunity for those who want to have a yard sale.
With this increased publicity, we will need more firm commitments for yard sales and reservations for a spot on the map should be made early. Rosedale will provide detailed maps for shoppers which will outline where the yard sales will be.
The cost for a yard sale and a spot on the map will be $7.50 per household and reservations should be made, through Nancy Farmer at the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council. Combining forces with a neighbor could be a possibility for those who do not have a lot to sell on their own.
As in past years, food and refreshments will be available for a charge.
There is even talk of ribs as a possibility for variety from hot dogs and hamburgers.
The Men’s Liberation Bakesale will also hold forth. Naturally, anonymous contributions will be needed, so dust off that flour sifter and sharpen those skills. Call Paul Kurtz at 727-6377 to donate baked goods.
The barbecue, bake sale, and bookfair will all be located on the parking area of the Kingsbury Animal Hospital, Kingsbury and Skinker, for which we would like to thank Steve Brammeier for his gracious support.
The events will begin at 8:30 a.m. on June 14 and any questions or suggestions should be directed to Nancy Farmer at the Council, 862-5122, or Frank Burke at 862-2279, evenings.
