Goshen Market Returns May 14

The 2016 season of the Land of Goshen Community Market in downtown Edwardsville begins May 14 and Friends of Leclaire will be there for the opening. FOL is normally at the market on the third Saturday of each month, but moves that date up a week in May because of the Leclaire Yard Sale on the third Saturday in May. Two volunteers are needed to work the booth each month where they provide information about Leclaire (brochures available) and sell Friends of Leclaire merchandise. New volunteers are paired with seasoned volunteers and with two people at the booth, there is time to take turns shopping the market. Call Mike Reinhardt at 656-1294 if you are willing to volunteer during this year’s Goshen Market season. 

The Yard Sales Are Coming!

The Fifth Annual Leclaire Neighborhood Yard Sale will be held May 21 from 8 a.m. - 2 p. m. To participate, send a note or e-mail (address below) to FOL with your address and a list of items you will have for sale. The information will be used both to place signs on the day of the sale and for advertising the sales.  FOL pays for a newspaper advertisement and promotes the sale on social media in the week prior to the sale.  There is no need for participating households to contribute nor do individuals or households need to be members of FOL. For further information, please call 656-1294.
