There will be some additions and subtractions as some rise to the challenge and some flake but here’s the 2011 list of garage sale goodness taking place on Saturday from 10a-3p all across Capitol Hill. If you really really really want to be part of things and didn’t register during the 11 months since the 2010 garage sale day, you can add your sale info here and we’ll do our best to get your sale in the mix. Sorry. No more room in the community lot. See you on Saturday!

You bid a fond farewell to the extra toaster oven, the old pots and pans, chairs that don’t match your ‘good’ dining set, décor that didn’t make the cut, and all the other “wagon wheel coffee tables” you find yourself tripping over in public storage. We’d like you to enjoy the items we just don’t need anymore. You never know… you might even find a few baby items our little one no longer needs.
