Historical June 1982 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
The first annual “Rags to Riches” yard sale will be held June 12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
This event, sponsored by the Rosedale Neighbors Association, will include the Rosedale Neighborhood from Skinker to Des Peres from Forest Park to Delmar.
All households in this area are encouraged to have lawn sales on the same day.
So if you live in Rosedale get out your items to sell, or combine with a neighbor. (How can you resist 12 square blocks of deals?) To encourage visitors and promote the sale atmosphere, there will be food and beverages also for sale in a specially set up pavilion in the parking lot of Kingsbury Animal Hospital at the corner of Skinker and Kingsbury.
To raise money for the Rosedale Neighbors Assn., there will be as part of the day’s activities a bake sale.
The Men’s Liberation Bake Sale will carry on its long tradition of providing sweets and a good time by all (especially the men themselves).
The proceeds of which go directly to support local groups and civic activities, such as the Paper itself.
This event is being held in lieu of the yearly Arts Fair.
When asked why a yard sale was decided on, Steve Brammeier, president of Rosedale, said, “It gives the community a chance to get out and do things together; clean out those basements and garages; have some good food and good times; and hopefully, get to meet one another. Doing things together is always the key to a good neighborhood and we hope this yard sale will be a good way to promote neighborhood spirit.”
