THE 2022

13TH ANNUAL

RUMMAGE SALE WAS A RESOUNDING SUCCESS!!

It happened

June 11^th & 12^th

The Rummage Sale was held June 11th & 12th. The Saturday hours were 7-8 am for EARLYBIRDS ($10) and free from 8 am – 3 pm. Sunday was open from 10am – 3pm. All non-profits were welcome to come to pick items for free after 2 pm. After 3 pm on Sunday, everything was free to anyone.

The Frederick Co. Fairgrounds in Clearbrook provides us with a great venue – lots of space, easy parking, and 3 buildings to showcase a boatload of treasures. 

BENEFICIARY: The beneficiary for 2022 was the Stonewall Ruritan Club (a 501(3)c organization). We helped them replace their antiquated manual sign along Rt 11 to an updated electronic one. They will use this sign to announce not only their events, but those for other nonprofits in our community like the Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast, Relay for Life, the Discovery Museum events, scheduling for WATTS, and, of course, events for Rotary and the Fairgrounds. The hope is that this sign will be the first step in bringing all of the nonprofits together in our community to work together for the benefit of all. Last year we were able to buy a much needed 12 passenger van with the help of the Stonewall Ruritan Club and a generous donation by a fellow Rotarian for the Evans Home for Children. Some other local charities we have supported in the past include Blue Ridge Hospice, the Discovery Museum, Bright Futures, and The Kids Clubs (formerly the Boys & Girls Club).
