Vendors sought for Greensburg YMCA's inaugural yard sale

Greensburg YMCA is hosting an inaugural indoor yard sale July 23 as part of the town’s annual Summer in the City event.

“The Y is looking to get more involved in the community,” said Debby King, membership director. “We’re going to get everybody at the Y involved, and, hopefully, we’ll get folks in to check out the Y at the same time.”

The community yard sale also is expected to raise some money toward the Y’s annual support campaign.

The sale will be held in the gymnasium, with space for up to 40 vendors. Early bird admission is available from 8 to 9 a.m., for a $2 fee.

Admission will be free during the remainder of the sale, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Children’s activities, beginning at 11 a.m., also will be available at no charge. Activities will be suited for toddlers through children of grade-school age.

The Y’s child care director will oversee outdoor field games in the grassy area next to the building at the corner of Maple Avenue and Pittsburgh Street. Kids also will have the chance to create giant bubbles.

The Y’s child care program will conduct a bake sale while the gymnastics team will sell concessions such as hot dogs and popcorn.

Kona Ice will be on hand selling frozen treats from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m

Vendor spaces for the sale can be reserved for a $25 donation. Tables can be rented for an additional charge. Monday is the deadline for reservations; visit greensburgymca.org and click on “Community Yard Sale” under the Quick Links column.

Y officials note how levels of giving to the support campaign can benefit children. A $50 donation can sponsor a water safety class for a child, $100 provides three children a place to go before or after school and $500 allows 10 children to participate in a youth sports session.

Summer in the City, slated for July 21-23, also includes entertainment, food, a pet parade and merchant specials.
