Where Are Today's Garage Sales? Patch's Yard Sale Map

Happy Friday! Here's today's breakdown of local garage sales, plus a free health fair, a free concert and a pet night for a cause.

Take advantage of this weekend's great weather by haggling with your neighbors. Garage sale season is ending, and that means garage salers (sellers? sailors?) are even more likely to want to sell their old belongings, perhaps at a lower price. We want to help you find what you want and need at the right price.

Using our Events page and Announcements board, as well as yardsalesearch.comPatch has created a Garage Sale map (above) for the weekend of August 9, 10 and 11.

Did we miss a garage sale? Let us know in the comments or add it to the map yourself (click 'Add' in the top right corner of the map above).
