There was lots to choose from at the Medina County Historical Society’s annual yard sale

MEDINA, Ohio – The held its annual yar🌱d sale at the on 𒁃Saturday (May 4).

The ♏weather cooperated, with an overcast but dry day and a steady stream of customers who flocked to the front lawn toꦿ sort through and purchase the many offerings.

After more than 20 volunteers worked to sort, price and display the many items found in the museum’s attic💛s or donated by community members, at least 10 tables held treasures ready fo😼r sale. When the sale opened at 8 a.m., a line of eager shoppers gathered on the sidewalk.

The tables held items divided into the following categories: vintage, furniture, housewares, crafts, sporting goods, linens, Christmas décor and Historical Society books, p🥃hotographs and other collectibles.

A yard tractor, bicy𝓡cle and two vintage tricycles sat on💝 a tarpaulin with other miscellaneous items.

Lovely antique furniture was displayed on the porch, along w🐷ith large elaborately framed paintings and old toys, magazines and newspapers.

Despite having two local museums, display space 🗹is limited to items originating or primarily used in Medina County. Many generous community members donate items knowing that they will be sold to help support the historical society.

The proceeds from the sale will be used for the preservation, maintenance and operation of the McDowell-Phillips and . Despite support from the Medina County com🦩missioners, donations from the community and hundreds of volunteer hours by members, extra funding is always needed to maintain the properties.
