Rainy day doesn't dampen shoppers' spirit

Garage sale planners were crying foul Friday afternoon as the rain began, but many continued preparations. The rain came again just about starting time Saturday morning and kept up all day, from occasional downpours to mostly drizzle. Over three inches was being reported by the end of the day.

A little rain didn't stop the die-hard garage-salers who stopped by the library to pick up sale lists and shop for books. We had ladies from Duncan, a school librarian from Lone Wolf, along with people from Altus, Lawton, Frederick, Cooperton, Cache, Indiahoma and Tipton.

Friends of the Library plan to continue their book sale on October 3, during the Southern Kiowa Fall Festival in Snyder.

Some who were having garage sales plan to have them again next weekend, September 19. If you call me (569-4235), I'll make up another list and have it available at the library that morning.

Thanks to the newspapers and radio stations who helped promote our sale day, and especially to those hardy souls who braved the rain to shop with us.

Ready, Set, Sell!

Snyder Community-Wide Garage Sale

The Snyder Community-Wide Garage Sale, sponsored by Snyder Friends of the Public Library, will be next Saturday, September 12, not Sept. 5, as reported in the Kiowa County Democrat.

The annual garage sale day is promoted by the Friends group in conjunction with their book sale at the library. The book sale will get underway at 8 a.m. on the 12th. A large number of books of every genre will be for sale by the box full. When books are donated to the library, many are duplicates of books already on the shelves, so they are saved for the sale.

Lists of garage sale locations will be available at the library the morning of the sale.

Anyone planning a sale may contact Dee Richardson @ 569-4235 or deearichardson@gmail.com to have their location listed.
