Yard Sale Day 2021 was a big success! Neighbors all around Federal Hill and the West End came out in the beautiful weather to buy and sell secondhand treasures, score deals at local businesses, and most importantly enjoyed one another’s company after a long winter in isolation. Several of them shared their yard sale day experience with WBNA! Here’s what they have to say…
“As newbies to Providence (my husband and I just moved here 6 months ago) the yard sale day was a perfect excuse to aimlessly roam and get to know the neighborhood better! Our favorite part was turning down streets we’d never encountered and stumbling across someone’s gorgeous garden or a little sale down an alley.” - Brie Roche-Lilliott
“My favorite part of the day was the egg rolls from our neighbors at the Providence Hmong Church! They are delicious.” - Nicole Pollock
“It’s absolutely magical up in here. I’ve met so many neighbors today! Thanks for organizing!” - Liza Birch
“I had a lovely day sitting in the sun and playfully haggling some of my favorite possessions with friendly strangers; thanks WBNA for organizing the Yard Sale Map; it was a great way to re-enter society and refresh my space. When will the next one be held?” - Tracy Jonsson-Laboy
“The West End's neighborhood yard sale was the best day of the whole past year! It was wonderful to be out in the neighborhood and see so many smiling faces. We really found some beautiful antique pieces and I even scored a new bike! It's a fabulous opportunity to meet neighbors, find treasures and enjoy the beautiful West End! Thanks for organizing it!” - Amanda Blount
