Get your garage sale ready for community-wide event
Get your spring cleaning started with the annual Bowie City-Wide Garage sale on March 27-28.
Everyone is invited to set up a sale at their home or make plans to visit all the great sales across the community.
The Bowie News is providing free basic garage sale notices in the newspapers (one run), but for $15 you can purchase a garage sale kit that includes two garage sale signs, pricing stickers and two classified ads up to 15 words.
Any garage sale kit purchased by March 19 will be added to the list of city-wide garage sales scheduled to run on March 21 and March 25.
The list will run next to a map of Bowie, but specific addresses will not be plotted. The map will be published in the March 25 edition.
Stop by the News at 200 Walnut Street to purchase your garage sale kit and shop your wares.
