There’s even more to look forward to at this year’s K‑Town Yard Sale, the second citywide event of its kind, and new details are being announced for participants, food‑truck fans and out‑of‑town sellers.
This year’s weekend yard sale event will take place Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 30–May 2. Residents who want to participate are encouraged to place an ad on The Kewanee Voice website, which will also put their home on the official yard‑sale map used by shoppers across town.
Yard sale participants may now begin bringing their ads directly to The Kewanee Voice office at 121 N. Tremont St. Monday-Friday 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Ads placed through the office will appear in the Voice Classifieds and secure a spot on the citywide map, which will be available both online and in printed form.
Participants will receive:
–An online ad in The Kewanee Voice Classifieds
–A spot on the citywide map (online and in print)
–A yard sign to help advertise their sale
The full advertising package is available for a $20 donation to the nonprofit news outlet.
