United States - Saturdays and Summertime are the perfect combination for Garage sales.  That is why the 2nd Saturday of every August is designated National Garage Sale Day.

On this day, you will see people finding great deals at these neighborhood sales.  For those having the sales, this is a way for them to find new homes for items they no longer need.

So if you see a driveway full of items and a sale sign out, stop by and celebrate National Garage Sale Day.

National Garage Sale Day History

C. Daniel Rhodes of Alabama came up with the idea of having a National Garage Sale Day in 2001 after seeing neighbors having sales on different weekends.  Rhodes thought it would be more convenient if they all had them on the same weekend.

The above Yard Sale/Garage Sale is a real one in Dexter.  Stop in and let them know you saw it on the ShowMe Times!
