Turnover Sale Debuts New Sale Days

In response to popular demand, the sale has more evening and weekend hours

Tradition meets innovation at the Turnover Sale. The United Methodist Women of Morrow Church are well-known for their annual July rummage sale. Known as “the Miracle on Baker Street,” the sale has been providing locals a place to donate and place to buy since the Depression.  In response to popular demand, this year will see a new schedule of sales dates, with more evening and weekend hours.

“Many of our loyal and new customers prefer to shop after work, camp, and daytime activities,” explain sale organizers Joyce Stibitz and Mary Auth. “We’ll be able to meet their needs better this year with more weekend and evening hours.”
