Clallam historical society garage sale kicks off this weekend; members’ preview today

PORT ANGELES — From aprons to zippers, gently used to never used, antiques to modern-day, everything anyone wants or needs — or that they didn’t know they wanted or needed — will be found at the Clallam County Historical Society’s annual garage sale, organizers promise.

The garage sale will be held this weekend and next weekend at the historical society’s site on the former Lincoln School campus at 933 W. Ninth St.

The members-only preview sale will be today. Regular sale days will be Friday and Saturday for the next two weekends.

Hours for the preview sale will be from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. People can become members of the historical society that afternoon, joining the more than 450 current members.

Annual membership fees are $30 for an individual, $35 for a family and $25 for seniors.

Friday and Saturday hours both weekends are from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The sale will continue with half-price day Friday, Sept. 6, and “Buck-a-Bag Day” Saturday, Sept. 7.

The garage sale — the major fundraiser for the private, nonprofit historical society — raises money for the continuing renovation of the former Lincoln School, which the society bought in 1991 for $210,000.

Proceeds from this year’s sale will go toward the renovation of the research library, said Kathy Monds, executive director.

Membership applications can be picked up at the society’s administration office at the Lincoln School site or at www.clallamhistoricalsociety.com.

For more information, phone 360-452-2662 or email artifact@olypen.com.
