Declutter at the Saxon Woods Garage Sale

With "indoor season" rapidly approaching, it's time to free up some valuable space around your house by cleaning out those closets, basements and attics and head over to the Saxon Woods Garage Sale, Sunday, October 19, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the park in White Plains.

Sponsored by Westchester County Parks, this sale is for individuals and families who want to sell their unwanted items, such as clothing, household items, furniture, toys, books and sporting goods. No professional antiques or collectible dealers are allowed. The sale is limited to the first 100 applicants who register.

Price is $40 for a 10-foot by 10-foot space. Vendors must provide their own tables, chairs, canopies and anything else necessary for display; no electrical hook-ups are available. Gates open at 6 a.m.; booths must remain open until 3 p.m. A $20 cash refundable deposit will be required at check-in that day; it will be returned at the end of the day pending inspection of the site by park staff. At the end of the sale, a charitable organization will be available to accept donations of any goods that do not sell, and unwanted items can be discarded in a trash hauler.

Admission and parking for shoppers at the Saxon Woods Garage Sale are free. The event will be held rain or shine. Saxon Woods Park is located at 1800 Mamaroneck Avenue in White Plains. Go to westchestergov.com/parks for info and registration form, or call the park at (914) 995-4480.
