Plenty of bargains will be available during a community event at Uranquinty

The annual garage sale will incorporate a craft fair for the first time on September 4.

Organiser Rhonda Palmer said the event was a Uranquinty Progress Association initiative which involved local community groups banding together to help.

Mrs Palmer said the event had been "a big hit" with visitors in previous years.

"It depends on the weather but we usually get people coming from Junee, Coolamon and Albury," she said.

"There will be candles, oils, paper craft, garden art work, paintings, mosaics and pottery from Wagga Potters Club, so there's plenty of things on offer.

"It's been fabulous, people love it.

"We'll also have displays from the pre-school, the playgroup and the public school, it's a real community get-together."

Mrs Palmer is hoping to attract about 20 households to display their wares and as many stallholders, from as far afield as north-west Victoria.

She said the event was an ideal opportunity for those who make craft at home to exhibit their goods.

"We have one woman from Swan Hill who wants to have a stall, but it all depends on the border bubble if she can get here or not," Mrs Palmer said.

"So far we will have mobile vans with food, coffee, hairdressing and even a knife sharpener.

"It's been a slow response but people wanting to be involved are trickling in now.

"It usually comes with a rush and we get a lot more involved in the last week.

"Uranquinty Men's Shed is having a sale on the same day so people usually finish their day by calling in there."

Mrs Palmer said anyone who is interested in setting up a stall or being involved could register their interest by sending a message to her on 0427 229 816.
