September citywide garage sale

September 3, 2013 By Downtown Flat Rock

garagesaleWith fall upon us and children back to school, it means that it is time for the September citywide garage sale. The citywide garage sale will be held on September 7th and 8th, from 9AM to 4PM.

Garage sales will be held in rain or shine. Shoppers can pick up a map of addresses of all the registered garage sales. These will be available in City Hall parking lot.

If you would like to hold a garage sale, you must purchase a garage sale permit. You can pick one up at the City Clerk’s Office for $5.00. All advertising will be done by the city, but you are welcome to advertise as well. Please be advised that posted garage sale signs are only allowed on the property holding the garage sale. All other signs advertising the sale that are not on the property will be removed.

If you don’t feel like holding a garage sale, but still have a garage full of stuff, the St. Vincent de Paul truck will be at City Hall accepting donations of clean and usable items. They will be there both Saturday and Sunday.

Make sure to take the time this weekend to shop for a great deal during the September citywide garage sale.

WELCOME TO FLAT ROCK

The first Euro-American settlers in Flat Rock were Michael Vreeland and his five grown sons between 1811 and 1820. Michael had been captured by British Rangers during the Revolutionary War and released after American independence.

The family purchased 800 acres (3.2 km2). The town was called the Village of Vreeland until 1838 when the Vreeland family sold off the majority of the land and relinquished control of the area. The Vreeland families built the first grain and lumber mill, having brought the grinding stones from New York.

Descendants of Michael Vreeland still live in the town and attend Flat Rock public schools, being the seventh generation to reside in the town their family founded.
