Portales City-wide Garage and Sidewalk Sale
Portales is planning a kickoff to summer activities with a big Saturday Sale Day.
The Roosevelt County Chamber of Commerce and the Portales MainStreet are sponsoring a community-wide garage and sidewalk sale day on Saturday June 4 in Portales.
The organizations are urging individuals as well as businesses to hold yard sales, rummage sales, church bazaars and sidewalk and in-store specials on that day.
“We thought this would be an excellent start to the summer season and give people throughout the area to shop in Portales,” said Chamber Executive Director Karl Terry. “Garage sales are fun but our local businesses have lots to offer this time of year as everyone is gearing up for summer. While people are downtown we hope when they’re through shopping they’ll pop into one of our many restaurants and watering holes for breakfast or lunch or just to cool off with a drink.”
Terry says the individual garage sales registered so far start as early as 7 a.m. while the sidewalk sales start a little later. Among those garage sales is one being organized by the Friendship Extension Club being held at the Jake Lopez Center at the Fairgrounds. Another sale at 1117 N. Ave. K will benefit a St. Helens Fiesta Queen candidate, while the Oklahoma Drive neighborhood will be holding their annual neighborhood block sales.
Businesses planning sidewalk sales include Bar G Western Wear, Merle Norman/Fashion Girl, Valley Furniture, Designs By J, Garden Source and Prestige Carpet.
If individuals or businesses haven’t registered their sale with the Chamber yet they can do so by calling 356-8541. There is no charge to participate. The Chamber staff will update the map online as it changes through 4 p.m. Friday.
The Chamber will have a table on the sidewalk from 8-10 a.m. that Saturday with copies of the latest map, free peanuts and other goodies and garage sale bargains like Roosevelt County history books that make great Father’s Day gifts.
