Happening this Weekend in Lansdowne, May 8

Bargain Shoppers Alert: It's the Town-Wide Yard Sale

If you haven't yet taken some time to stroll the friendly streets of Lansdowne, this Saturday would be a great day to go for a trek through the neighborhood. Why this Saturday, you ask? Because it's the ninth annual Town-Wide Yard Sale here in Lansdowne, and will feature upwards of 100 different yard sales, all within the borders of our one square mile.

As of right now, the weather forecast is looking pretty decent (not too hot, with some chance of occasional rain), so why not put on some comfortable shoes and hunt for bargains. It's probably the day when there are more out-of towners in Lansdowne than any other day of the year, so it's also an excellent opportunity to meet friends and neighbors both old and new. While it may not be possible to hit every yard sale, you can plan your route for maximum efficiency with the latest map of this Saturday's sales at the Google map online or in this printable version.

In addition to the yard sales, there will be a couple other happenings in and around the business district. Fuel up for the day with a hearty hoagie, sold by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Lansdowne Fire Company. Their annual hoagie sale takes place from 9 am to 1 pm at the fire station, 26 N. Highland Ave. Plus, the Spring Tea event at Secret Garden (in the Simpson Gardens building 84 N. Lansdowne Ave.) is an opportunity to enjoy sweets, savories, scones in an elegant setting at 1 pm.

For what it's worth, I'll be among those hitting up the yard sales in search of a _________ . If you happen to be in the borough and spot one, let me know!
