Who couldn't use a little spare change in these tight times?
Plainfielders have an opportunity right now to take advantage of one of the city's most popular events, FOSH's annual garage sale, which attracts thousands of browsers -- and buyers -- each May.
Last year, the Van Wyck Brooks Historic District held a yard sale on the same day. The experiment was deemed worth pursuing, and this year the VWB has joined forces with FOSH, which has a reputation with the annual sale (and marketing muscle), in a joint promotion of the event.
You can still register to participate (download the form here -- PDF) by submitting your application and fee to FOSH, which is handling the details. (Note the fee is $5 more for submitting after May 1st.)
Besides the fun of having stuff you are ready to part with discovered as 'treasures' by shopping visitors, you will want to mark your calendar for the 'Maidens in May' house tour being offered the same day by the United Way's Plainfield Community Council. The house tour benefits the Plainfield Rescue Squad and the Tri-County Chapter of the Red Cross.

Dan,Last year they did the same thing,and also paid for Don Davis to attend. The PMUA also along with the city of Plainfield paid for Don Davis to spend tax payers money for food,drinks,etc.We are upon hard times, and extras like trips,food,and liquor should not be paid for by the tax payers
