Hey Everyone!
Steve and I worked harder than we ever have on promoting an event.
We put a flyer out two weeks before hand and then a second one a week before hand. Then we put flyers on everyone's car, reminding them the day before, to bring their stuff out to sell.
We advertised in the paper and on Craig's list and put signs up on intersections. Then we put signs up the night before directing drivers to our property. Then we waited to see what would happen.
Three families participated in the yard sale. They had fun and greatly appreciated the opportunity to sell their things on their apartment property. Sadly, though, that was the extent of the morning. We wandered the property most of the morning, visiting the sellers and handing out breakfast and snacks. It was fun to have extended visits with people we have met but not spent much time with. We even got pictures again!
While there were not many people, we learned how to work our hardest and best and then not feel bad when it doesn't turn out well. At least we know we did our part to the best that we knew how.
