Check Out Upcoming Garage Sales and Post Your Own

Are you looking for deals? Check here instead of driving around, wasting gas. Or are you hosting a garage or yard sale for yourself or your neighborhood? Add it to our events calendar.

One person's clunky piece of bric-a-brac that's doing nothing more than cluttering an upstairs closet is another person's treasure.

That's what makes garage, rummage and yard sales so great: Sellers unload junk that has outlived its usefulness, and buyers find unusual gems they didn't know they wanted.

Patch wants to bring the two together by listing garage sales around Frankfort. Let us be that small sign you hang up at the larger intersections in town (except you don't have to take us down when your sale is over).

Give people an address they don't have to circle back around the block to get correct, and let them know what's available before they show up and leave disappointed.
