Over 80 Households Signed Up!

Last night we hit a milestone. Actually, we are way over 80 households, if you cound that several yard sales are combine multiple households - and last we heard there will be 20 or more tables at St. Anthony's. GO BROOKLAND!

GBYS Google Map Improvements

FYI, the GBYS Google map has been updated by changing the "pushpins" to numbers, which makes it easier to identify yard sales. We also made the numbers correspond to clusters of houses in order to make it easier for shoppers to make their way around efficiently. Big thanks to Astrid Joehnk for working on the Google for many hours.
