Sell More at Your Yard Sale by Posting It on Patch

Now that the weather's warm, every weekend in Hellertown-Lower Saucon Patch-land there's an opportunity to sell your stuff to yard sale junkies.

Whether you are a homeowner, a church or a civic organization, be sure let the community know about your sale by posting it on our events calendar for free! (Just be logged in to your account, and click on "Add an Event" on the right-hand side of the Events page.)

And don't forget about the upcoming  (call 610-838-1770 to register by April 26) and the Hellertown Community Yard Sale, which will be held throughout the borough on Saturday, June 2 from 8am to 2pm.

For more information about the Community Yard Sale, or to register, email MaryH@LehighValleyChamber.org.

With advance registration, the regular $5 permit fee for yard sales in Hellertown will be waived for participants in this event, which is being sponsored by the Borough Business Revitalization Program.

3. Enter a date and time for the event.
