FOSH and other yard sales today


Stuff! Stuff you must have!

Plainfield's annual monster event is upon us -- the annual FOSH (Friend of Sleepy Hollow) Yard Sale is this weekend, Saturday AND Sunday. (The 'Maidens In May' house tour is Sunday -- see separate post.)

The FOSH event draws thousands of eager bargain-hunters to Plainfield each year. The sale is from 9 AM - 4 PM both days, offering some of the best 'stuff' in New Jersey. The best place to start is along Watchung Avenue -- just look for balloons. Maps of participating homes are available at each location.

In addition, a number of other yard sale opportunities with SPECIAL EMPHASES --

It seems like with last year extending it to both days really kept turnout on the low end. I remember when you couldn't find a place to park on Watchung Ave. because there were so many cars and at least a dozen houses participating. I also know many houses that only participated one of the days, I would think that had to make it somewhat confusing as well for people driving around looking for balloons.
