The Mammoth Moosup Neighborhood Yard Sale! It's Saturday for bargains and family fun


A most anticipated event for bargain hunters throughout eastern Connecticut is happening THIS Saturday!! The 4th Annual Mammoth Moosup Neighborhood Yard Sale.

I’ve recently become a resident of this area, so guess what? I’ll be selling.

That means I’ve been scoping out items around my home to be included in the yard sale. Beyond that, I have a ton of leftover merchandise I purchased in lots over the last two years to sell on eBay! As it turns out, not everything you might guess will sell well online, does.

For me and all of my neighbors in Moosup, it’s a great time to combat Pack Rat Disease — and for anyone else who may be planning a yard sale, it’s time to get organized! Gather anything in your home that hasn’t been used within the past year. Items may be “still good” or “worth keeping”, but not if you’re not going to use it! No more “saving it for someday” while you struggle to find what you need in over-packed closets. If you have children, think about toys that aren’t being used and any clothing that may have been outgrown. Consider selling old dishes, duplicate items you don't really need, unused Christmas gifts, and really "clean house". Take this opportunity to clear out and make better use of the space you have!

If you need some help in uncluttering and simplifying the flow of your home, visit this neat blog! It's packed with ideas on how to organize your home and office.

The Moosup neighborhood yard sale is located just off exit 89 on Rt. 395. Follow the signs.


FYI: For those interested in attending, there’s also a book sale in the area at the Moosup United Methodist Church at 11 S. Main St. Current authors, old favorites, cookbooks, puzzles, tapes and more will be sold form 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

PLUS! Fun times to be had by all just down the road a way, in Sterling:


This should be a fantastic event with a live band, a children’s pageant, face painting, a martial arts demonstration, antique motorcycles, a hula-hoop lady, veggie races, a fishing derby, and more! Oh! Don’t forget the fireworks at 8:30 p.m.
