Neighborhood Garage Sale
Every year we hold the annual KNA Garage Sale, with nearly 100 homes participating in the event. The 2023 date has not been set yet, but we will share it in our 2023 Event Calendar once the date has been set.
Here's a write-up from a previous KNA Board Member, Rajendra, about the 2021 KNA Garage Sale:
The KNA Garage Sale was held on Saturday, June 26th. This year was certainly different for the KNA to organize the garage sale. We were not sure how the neighbors would respond with the covid-19 virus still of concern to lots of people, but the shopper turnout was great, and we were happy to see how many neighbors participated. Many KNA board members were involved in this year’s garage sale. The board members were active and took responsibility in areas such as advertising on the KNA website, placing fliers at local businesses, sending email reminders to 350 plus homes, posting on social media, placing A-Board signs at all the entry roads into Kennydale, and passing out red balloons to those holding sales. The neighborhood garage sale was a great success. It was a very hot day with temperatures exceeding 100 degrees. A big thank you to all the neighbors who displayed their “treasures” by cleaning out their closets, attic, garage and basement and making some money! And thank to all of you who visited the sales and supported your neighbors.
During the Garage Sale, the Kennydale Neighborhood Association and The Garrettson Family sponsored Kennydale Rocks on the patio at Cloudbreak, the local café. Carissa Garrettson made small rock painting kits to hand out to artists of all ages to encourage them to decorate the rocks and place them throughout the Kennydale neighborhood. Brook Garrettson, Pam Miller, and Leah and Jack Battin greeted neighbors and handed out kits from 9:30am to 12pm on one of the hottest days in Kennydale history. Thank you again to the Garrettson Family for being a sponsor of Kennydale Rocks, and to Stoneway Hardware for donating the rocks. We can’t wait to see the painted rocks around the neighborhood!
