Time is Running Out & FAQ
The deadline for turning in your registration form to participate in this Fall's Community Garage Sale is coming up! Turn in your forms by October 4. Instructions are on the form.
So far we've had a good response. A few of you have had some questions, so I thought I'd post those as well:
So far we've had a good response. A few of you have had some questions, so I thought I'd post those as well:
FAQ
- Q: What is the $15 registration fee for? A: The money goes towards the advertising that is done for the sale - many newspapers, directional signs & online ads. Proceeds above this cost go to one of two places: The Samaritan Inn Gateway Apartment Project that our office supports OR directly into benefits for the neighborhood. For example, if we get a large enough turnout we'd love to get a bounce house for the kids to play in or some other activity that would benefit Stone Brooke Crossing.
- Q: What & When is the pre-sale? A: The pre-sale will be held from 7-8 Friday, October 10. This allows the registered garage sale participants to shop each other's items before the rush of shoppers on Saturday. Many times we are too busy with our own garage sales to enjoy prime shopping hours on Saturday. Simply have your garage sale items priced, displayed & ready to go before 7:00 PM on Friday. Only those that mark YES on their registration forms will be advertised as Pre-Sale Participants on the maps.
- Q: Where will the Sale be advertised? A: The Dallas Morning News, Star Community Newspapers (McKinney Courier Gazette, Allen American, Frisco Enterprise, Plano Star Courier, Little Elm Journal, Celina Record, etc..), Craigslist, McKinneyNews.net, http://www.realfamilyrealestate.com/ and more.

Just What IS the Stone Brooke Crossing Garage Sale & Open House Tour?
With rising gas prices and the expense of raising kids, many families turn to having a garage sale as a way to earn some extra cash. It's a great way to get rid of clothing the children have outgrown, sell toys or electronics you no longer use and to de-clutter your home if you are thinking of putting it on the market.
Along with all of the benefits of having a garage sale, many people choose NOT to because of all the work it takes to pull together a successful garage sale. Many people have a busy schedule and don't have the time to do it right. Placing ads in all the area newspapers, getting up early to put out plenty of directional signs & picking them up when you are done, and getting the word out online about your garage sale. Well, that's where WE step in!! Let us do all the hard work - all you have to do is get your items ready to be sold!
Here's what happens when you sign up to be a featured garage sale in the SBC Garage Sale & Open House Tour:
1. Fill out and turn in registration form - include what kind of items you will be selling. These will be listed on the neighborhood maps that will be handed out to shoppers the morning of the sale.
2. Indicate whether or not you want to participate in the pre-sale Friday evening. All featured garage salers will have advance notice of what items your neighbors will be selling and you will have an opportunity to get first pick since you won't have a chance on Saturday! If you want to participate you must have your garage sale items ready to go Friday evening.
3. Include $15 with your registration form. What does the $15 go towards? The costs of advertising and promotion for the sale. We do NOT make a profit from the garage sale. All additional proceeds will go to The Samaritan Inn's Gateway Apartment project.
4. You don't even need to get your own garage sale permit - we'll take care of that as well!
5. The morning of the garage sale we will have numerous directional signs for the garage sale leading shoppers to all of the great sales. All featured garage sales will have balloons placed on their mailbox to help identify the sales.
6. As shoppers drive into the neighborhood we will be handing out maps showing where each garage sale is located. Garage Sales will be advertised from 7 am - 2 pm.
7. Come down to our information tent at the Crutcher Crossing entrance for some donuts & morning goodies. We'd love to meet all of our neighbors!
8. If you have a home for sale in Stone Brooke Crossing, then please have your agent contact us about holding an open house from 11-2 in our Open House Tour. Take advantage of all of the traffic in our neighborhood and let home buyers get a chance to see our great homes for sale & friendly community!
We hope you enjoy participating in the Fall Garage Sale & Open House Tour. Please let us know if you have any questions. Look for our postcard in the mail beginning 9/13/08.
