Community Garage Sale Saturday At Museum

Good morning, here is hoping all of you dads had a Happy Father’s Day! We have had a little rain, downpours in a few places with a couple of cooler days this week, and we are thankful for that.

Here in Harrisburg, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, June 22, you are invited to participate in a Community Garage Sale at the Banner County Museum.

Anyone is welcome to come sell their treasures. Please bring your own table (or tables) and lunch will be provided by the vendors.
