June 5, 9:00a.m. – 1:00 p.m. It’s spring-cleaning time, but don’t throw everything out! June 5th will mark Springfield Township’s annual Community Garage Sale Event! Last year over 1,400 came to shop!

This one day “sale-a-bration” is the perfect time to sell your unwanted items and make a few bucks! Both indoor and outdoor booth spaces are now available to residents of the Township for just $5-$15. The fees will pay for all of the advertising used to draw in the largest crowds.

As an added benefit, a non-profit center will be on site to take any donations after the event is over! There will only be 50 spaces available, so register early! Call 522-1410 to register
