The ceiling has been repaired & painted for starters.

All the people listed have worked or helped with Rummage for a few or many hours.

We will be holding only one yearly sale in the future. We feel fall is the best time, most likely in October. Save items or let me know if we need to store items for you. Some small furniture items are on the stage listed on the Facebook marketplace. Members may purchase if interested. This is a mission project for people that can’t afford retail prices. Many friends and neighbors look forward to our sale & have for years.

We hope for more Nardin Park participation in the future.

Thank you,

Tina Jensen
