Event Details
The annual yard sale-like event will offer great deals on donated goods from 7 a.m. to noon and 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday (May 11) at the East Concourse of Milan Puskar Stadium. This event not only provides an opportunity for community members to shop for affordable items but also promotes sustainability by giving unwanted items a second life.
Admission is $5 for the 7 a.m. early bird session. General admission is free and begins at 9 a.m. All items will be 50% off during the evening session when admission will also be free. This makes it accessible for individuals to participate in the sale and support a good cause.
Benefitting the Community
Proceeds from the Blue and Gold Mine Sale benefit the United Way of Monongalia and Preston Counties. It is not only a great way to support a local charity but also contributes to environmental efforts. Annually, this event keeps around 25 tons of goods out of landfills, showcasing the positive impact of reusing and recycling unwanted items.
