Treasure Hunting

This past weekend, my neighborhood had a huge garage sale. This attracted about a billion people to my quiet street making it nearly impossible to navigate your way out to the main road. But on the bright side, I was able to snag some Grade-A Little Tikes stuff for my cousin. I wonder if there'll be any treasures like this at the benefit Yard Sale for The Books for Africa Library project?

The Books for Africa Library project -- conceived by Copley Township resident Hilda Bromley in 1996 while she was recovering from brain tumor surgery -- has been responsible for setting up 28 libraries in and around Ghana.[...]

Because it's so costly to ship the books to the Africa, the Akron-area community is sponsoring several fund-raisers to help the Bromleys plant the love-of-reading seed.

One such event -- a massive yard sale -- is planned for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. July 9 at 615 Broad Blvd. in Cuyahoga Falls.

You gotta get there early,though, otherwise all the good stuff will be gone before you arrive. But even if you can't get there early, still check it out. It's for a good cause.
