Historical April–May 2012 article. Dates, prices, services and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
At 9:00 am on Saturday, May 5, the doors of Grace United Methodist (6199 Waterman) will open for the 37th Junktique.
In 1976, Grace was facing a financial deficit and members decided to hold a huge garage sale! No one imagined that there would still be great junk coming in this many years later.
Some years over 800 people have shopped for treasures in Grace’s Fellowship Hall. Church members donate treasures (and sometimes whole estates) to serve the local community, including our many food pantry patrons.
This year, the booths will include Toys, Linens, Collectibles, Jewelry, Housewares, Furniture/ Electronics, White Elephants and Books.
There is a 25¢ entry fee.
A special feature this year will be the Authentic Mexican lunch in honor of Cinco de Mayo, supervised and cooked by Grace’s own (and Skinker DeBaliviere resident) Dolores Hoefel. Grace is accepting donations for the sale through Wednesday, May 2.
They are not accepting clothing, shoes, old computers, or televisions, but anything else is welcome (in working condition, please).
Please bring your donations Monday-Thursday from 8:30 – 3:00 or during the evening the week before May 5.
Call the church office (314)863-1992 if you have large items and need a pick-up. Doors close at 1:00. Join us for lunch and check out the bargains!
