Got a Garage Sale? Tell Homewood and Flossmoor Readers

Summer is just about here, and it's time to break out the old tables and clean out our attics, basements and closets.

It's garage sale time!

If you're really looking to draw attention to your garage sale, your best bet is to use a community resource that lots of people in the community will see. Of course, you don't want to have to pay for this resource. It should be free. It should also be easy to use.

Hmmm.

Wait! Isn't this is exactly what H-F Patch is for? Take a look at our quick walk-through for how to post a garage sale to our site.

1. Log into Patch. In the upper right corner, there should be a link that says "Log In."

2. Once you're signed in, go to the Events tab (to the right of News).

3. In the right corner of that page, you'll see something that says, "Add an Event." Hit that button!

4. Fill out all the required fields, including time, date and place. We encourage you to add a list of items for sale, as well as any photos you have.
