Find treasures among junk

Hoping to find something special to add to your home? The Junk In Your Trunk sale will likely fill the bill.

Whether you are looking to get a little spring cleaning out of the way or hoping to find something special to add to your home, the Junk In Your Trunk sale will likely fill the bill.

The family-friendly event is put on each year at Carlin Hall as a fun way to raise money, with some of the proceeds going to Second Harvest and the rest towards the upkeep of the hall itself.

Events like this are important as they help raise the funds needed for minor maintenance within the hall, keeping it in working order so it can host many of the community events throughout the year.

The Junk in Your Trunk event has been very popular in past years, and event coordinators doubt they will see much change this year.

The event acts as a giant yard sale, says Joan O’Brien, describing items from past events which have included half-ton trucks, furniture, kitchen supplies and many other items new and old.

You never really know what will turn up at these events, O’Brien says.

It is a chance for anyone who has just undergone some spring cleaning and has emptied their house and shops of any clutter, but now has piles of items and nowhere to put them.

While there may not be any use left for those items in your house, they may just provide the new centerpiece in someone else’s.

Those who wish to sell their treasures may do so by renting a table for $10 or a space outside.

Patrons of all ages are encouraged to check out the event, and O’Brien says while they may not plan to buy anything, they might just find something they can’t live without.

Homemade snacks and beverages will  be available to those who would like a midday treat.

The Junk in Your Trunk event runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 20.

To book a table, call O’Brien at 250-835-0104, or send her an email to joan462@telus.net.
