OLD LYME — Summer’s over. The kids are back in school. It’s a great time to clean out closets, organize cupboards, and generally clear out clutter. Are you moving or downsizing and don’t know what to do with all the stuff you’ve accumulated?
Don’t let your gently used household items go to the dump. Upcycle your goods by donating them to the King’s Rummage Sale at Christ the King Church’s Harvest Festival!
Donations are being accepted from Wednesday, Sept. 1 through Saturday, Sept. 11, from 9 a.m. to noon (except Sunday Sept. 5), at Christ the King Church, 1 McCurdy Road, Old Lyme (parish hall entrance).
All donated items should be in good condition: working, clean, and saleable. No clothes, shoes, or textbooks will be accepted. Visit www.christthekingchurch.net/kings-rummage-sale for a complete list of items that cannot be accepted.
Email [email protected] or call the parish office at 860-434-1669 if you have large or upholstered items to donate.
The annual Harvest Festival takes place at Christ the King Church (1 McCurdy Road, Old Lyme) on Saturday, Sept. 18, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and features the rummage sale, a silent auction, a bake sale, kids games and crafts, great food, live music, and an autumn plant sale.
The rummage sale, bake sale, and plant sale will continue Sunday morning, Sept. 19, from 9 a.m. to noon (with steep discounts on rummage sale items, while supplies last.)
COVID mindfulness: Hand sanitizers will be available at the entrances, and numbers of people in small rooms will be limited at any one time. For everyone’s safety, wearing facemasks is strongly encouraged for everyone, regardless of vaccination status.
