For the bargain hunters, two local towns will be holding town-wide yard sales this weekend.

Annawan Townwide Spring Garage Sales will take place May 8-9 starting at 8 a.m. both days. Sale listings and addresses can be found on information sheets provided at local businesses in Annawan.

Cambridge Community Wide Yard Sales take place May 8-9 from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. at locations throughout the village and can be found on the village of Cambridge’s Facebook page.

The Kewanee FFA will wrap up their spring plant sale this weekend at the Kewanee High School greenhouse. They will be open for business Friday from 3-4 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the final day is set for Sunday from noon to 2 p.m. Go support the FFA chapter and gain some great flowers and vegetables in the process.

This Saturday will also be the National Association of Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. Right now, with the price of gas through the roof and grocery costs that have skyrocketed, our neighbors can use our help. Leave your food donations near your mailbox and a representative from the post office will collect them. All donations go directly to the Kewanee Food Pantry.

Sunday is Mother’s Day. If you are lucky enough to still have your mother around then show her some love and spend some time with her this weekend.
