The City of Puxico Board of Aldermen has set aside the first Friday and Saturday in Oct. 5 - 6 as the time for the Fall City-Wide Yard Sale. Time frame for these yard sales will be from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day.
The Mayor and Board hopes that as many residents as possible participate in these events.
The City is compiling a list of addresses where yard sales will be located. The list of addresses along with a map of the city will be distributed to anyone who wants to know where he or she can find the yard sale. If you wish to have your name/address placed on the list of yard sales, please contact Patty Cooper at City Hall at 222-3162 by October 2. If you want a copy of the yard sale address list and city map, you may pick one at City Hall after October 2. They will also be available at various businesses and yard sales around the city.
In order to accommodate those who wish to participate, the Mayor and the Board have set aside Veteran's Park and Memorial (South) Park for yard sale use those days.
In Memorial Park, participants may use the pavilion and the basketball court for display of items for sale. In Veteran's Park the stage area and the ground area on the south end of the park may be used. Participants must call City Hall at 222-3162, during business hours Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., to register to use a specific park for their yard sale. Once the participant has registered, the actual area within the park that is used by that participant is based on whoever gets there first to set up his/her yard sale items.
The City is not responsible for any items left in the parks overnight. The Mayor and members of the Board also asks that anyone who set sup in a park for the yard sale clean up the area that was used before leaving at the of the yard sale.
