The cars lined up early Saturday morning to take advantage of the liquidation sale bargains.
We had a successful 5&10 Sale this past Saturday, May 19th. One young volunteer captured a few images.
Thank you to Betty Albrecht-Tarras, Market Director at Tom’s Food Markets 14th Street, for the recent donation to help at the St. Vincent de Paul, Traverse City, MONSTER Liquidation/Garage Sale.

Where: 715 Beitner Street, Traverse City, MI (across the street from the Traverse City Area District Library on Woodmere Ave.
Most items except jewelry and other select items will be offered for sale based on whatever can be fit in a box. A smaller box will be $5 (12″ x 12″ x 12″) and a larger box will be $10 (18″ x 18″ x 18″). Food and beverages will be available for sale and donations are always welcome. All proceeds go to help the needy in the community.
Board President Margaret Sophiea stated that “The five and dime theme plays off of the old-fashioned, 1950’s style variety stores where everything in the store used to cost a dime. Think Woolworth, Ben Franklin or Kresge. They also used to be called dime stores, or 5 and 10’s.” Jokingly, Sophiea added “With inflation, we now call them dollar stores. We are attempting to coordinate the event with other area businesses to make it more of a neighborhood event.”
