| Start the decade off by doing something green, and earn a little green yourself. The Peterson-Dumesnil House Foundation is hosting a giant yard sale on Saturday, April 24th. Keep hundreds of items out of the waste stream and put them into the hands of people who can use them.
So clean out those closets, basements and attics (books, furniture, toys, tools, pottery, kitchen utensils, bikes, whatever). Some folks even make arts and crafts to sell at their spaces. The past event had over 40 vendors. Rental fee for an approx. 12’ x 12’ space on the front and side lawn of the Peterson-Dumesnil House is just $20. You will need to provide your own tables.
The Spring Yard Sale on Sat., April 24th, 8:00 – 1:00 PM is “Rain or Shine”. To participate send $20 (checks payable to the Peterson-Dumesnil House Foundation) no later than April 19th; include your name, address, e-mail and/or phone number. Late submissions will be charged $25 if space is available. Envelopes should read:

 | The history of Crescent Hill can be traced back to the original pioneer road of the 1780s. Upgraded as the Louisville-Lexington Turnpike in 1817, it is today’s Frankfort Avenue. With the coming of the Louisville Frankfort Railroad line in 1849, Crescent Hill became a true suburb. Early structures were joined by splendid homes as many prominent Louisvillians chose the area as the location for their “summer residences.” |
