Spend the upcoming weekend in and around our treasured Quiet Corner. From Friday to Sunday -- all happening within 20 minutes of Putnam -- you’ll find unique bargain buying opportunities.
On Friday, Danny’s Auction Barn in Foster, Rhode Island will hold their first-of-its-kind Food Auction. If you’re tired of high prices in grocery stores, it should be worth checking it out. You’ll find an assortment of non-perishable food items and dry goods like paper towels and kitchen linens. Danny’s Auction is located on Route 6, just 5 minutes from the RI/CT state line. The auction starts at 6 pm. See http://www.DannysAuction.com for more information.
On Saturday, the lovely town of Pomfret, Connecticut will hold it’s 2nd Annual Townwide Tag Sale. There will be yard sales all over at individual homes and businesses. Also, the Pomfret Community School will be hosting a used book sale from 7 am until noon, benefiting Friends of the Pomfret Public Library. Proceeds will support library programs. Current fiction, non-fiction, children's books, biographies, and older books will be available for sale. Most books will be priced at just $1 for hardcover, and fifty cents for paperbacks. There will also be a $2 a bag sale (bags provided) from 11 a.m. to noon. Also at the school on Saturday morning, area Girl Scouts will be holding a fundraiser tag sale.
A handy guide map is available at the Pomfret Community School for just $1 (with drive-thru convenience if you prefer not to exit your vehicle) making it super easy to find tag sale locations.
Another unique buying opportunity is happening in Ashford on Saturday. There will be a Quilt Show from 10 am to 4 pm at Knowlton Hall, 25 Pompey Hollow Road. Proceeds will benefit Friends of the Babcock Library and Heart and Hand Quilt Club. Vendors, quilt drawing, and silent auctions as well as a display of antique and modern quilts will round out the show. For information or to schedule an appointment to have your quilt appraised, call 429-7995.
Then, on Sunday, Putnam is launching a brand new flea market. Organized by Greg Renshaw, the flea market will be open from 8 am To 3 pm.
Greg is a collector and antiques enthusiast, having been in business for 25 plus years. He recognized the need for a good show venue in the northeast corner of the state. The new venture is called, "Putnam Flea Market & Show Place".
Located at the historic Cargill Falls Mill in downtown Putnam, the grand opening is slated for Sunday, May 18th. Hours are 8:00 am - 3:00 pm.
Beyond your typical flea market experience, the Putnam Flea Market & Show Place is stated to be the only flea market in the USA with a "Classic Motorcar Division". Anyone with an old car or anything that could be categorized as “petroliana”, “automobilia” -- even a boat, etc. -- is invited to come to Putnam on Sunday morning to set up to show and/or sell.
Vendor spots are available for $20.00 for those interested in setting up to display, sell, and show their wares.
