Bacchus Marsh bargain-hunters are invited to hunt hidden gems in their community during the Moorafun Garage Sale Trail this September 9 and 10.
The Garage Sale Trail will be one community garage sale spread across different households in Bacchus Marsh, Maddingley and Darley.
For $20 residents can sign up their sale to be added to a map that treasure hunters will use to explore the area across the weekend.
Moorafun president Natalie Woodley said it’s an inclusive event for anyone and everyone to join in.
“Parents can get involved or kids can get some pocket money,” she said.
“In the days when online sales are popular it’s a good way to get people out in the sunshine, out in the community and find some treasures in the process.”
Moorafun is a not-for-profit run by community volunteers who create inclusive family events within the Moorabool shire.
Moorafun events coordinator Dotty Hazel said she loves seeing people come together for community events.
“The lead up can be very stressful, but when it all comes together and you see everyone having fun and enjoying themselves… I get that sense of pride and achievement and that’s my payment, seeing people happy and enjoying themselves,” she said.
Signing up your garage sale will get you a poster for the front of your home, advertising in the printed booklet and inclusion on the visitor map.
So far, 24 households have signed up for the event, and there’s time to list your own garage sale until August 31.
Households keep all the proceeds from their sales.
