Did you buy a new rug and need to find a home for the one you had before? Do you have tools in the garage that could be used more by someone else? Consider donating them to the Brown County Humane Society to help some of our furriest residents!
The humane society is pleased to announce that this year’s Barn Sale will take place later this summer from Aug. 11 to 13. Come browse the sale between 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.
We will return to the same location as last year, which is operating under a new name. We will be at the Away A Day RV Campground located at 5515 State Road 46 East — about five miles east of downtown Nashville.
This event is a huge fundraiser for the animals at the shelter. All proceeds from the Barn Sale go directly to care for the shelter animals. The amount raised is solely dependent on the donations provided by the public. The more high-quality items we receive the more money for the animals! In previous years, the barn sale has raised over $50,000.
Donations for the sale will be accepted at the Away A Day RV Campground on Aug. 5 and 6 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Aug. 7 and 8 from noon to 4 p.m. New and gently used smaller items that sell well include furniture, rugs, antiques, collectibles, toys, jewelry, housewares, kitchen appliances, sports gear, bikes, tools, arts and crafts, artwork and decorations.
We are unable to accept clothes, shoes, candles, food, hygiene items, mattresses, tube TVs, older computers and electronics, older exercise equipment, car seats, cassette tapes, VHS tapes, pianos and organs, older entertainment centers or items that are not in working order.
In addition to donating your gently used treasures, there are several ways to volunteer.
Every single item that is donated is individually priced — that is thousands of pieces! In addition to helping price, we need heavy lifters and movers, people who enjoy creating nice displays for shoppers and those who like to organize donated items. Even if you only have a few hours to help, it would make a huge impact! Volunteers are needed Aug. 5 through Aug. 10 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Contact our Community Relations Manager Megan at 317-946-8235 or [email protected] to sign up.
Don’t forget, if you love shopping yard sales, this is truly the biggest and best in Brown County! Just a tip: it is nearly impossible to see every item for sale the first day, so shopping multiple days is encouraged!
