For the past 20 years at least, our local symphony has had a ginormous rummage sale every summer, and this is their weekend for it again. It starts on Wednesday evening, with a $10 admission, hors d’oeuvres, wine, string quartets, etc. and is open about 8 hours a day until Saturday.
In the past, it was held in a closed grocery store or similarly sized large storefront, but for the past two years, it’s been held in the old library, which is a 3-story building that has no utilities except for generator-powered lights, is not handicapped accessible, and has about 10 parking spaces.
My guess is that the building was free, but I can’t imagine that the loss in sales, and “shrinkage” too because there are a lot of nooks and crannies in this building, would compensate.
