The Sherwood Community Garage Sale is coming up Friday, June 29th and Saturday, June 30th 2012.  This big multi-neighborhood event spans throughout Sherwood with several sales made available as a progressive event.  These organized sales are approved by the city, mass advertised and bring many people to Sherwood from the surrounding area to shop locally.  Many of these sales are organized and sponsored by area Realtors. 

The Gardner Team has organized and sponsored an event for eight years. As you enter town, Heron Ridge Estates of 99W and Roy Rogers Road has a large sale with many homes participating. The neighboring Conzelmann Farm Estates also participates and offers thru streets from Heron Ridge, making it easily accessible to shoppers being all in one area. 

The Gardner Team also sponsors the Renaissance neighborhoods around Sherwood.  Including Renaissance Crest just off of Elwert.  You can also easily access Renaissance Crest passing through the Vineyards community which also has a neighborhood garage sale at the same time. 

Across the way on Sunset, there will be the annual Woodhaven neighborhood garage sale.  Just past Woodhaven neighborhood park is the beautiful Renaissance at Richen Park neighborhood garage sale, and as you continue on Sunset, Renaissance Cedar Creek East and West each have neighborhood garage sales and at the end of Sunset off to the right, there will be a sales in Renaissance Glen as well.

Also off Sunset, Highpoint is a huge neighborhood participating in the sale for the second year now, this community garage sale is sponsored by Shelly Rath.  Near Target there's another large neighborhood called Sherwood Village.  Mike Cook and Cheryl Riggs will be sponsoring that neighborhood sale for the second year in a row -- in partnership with Gardner, Cook, Riggs and Rath.

How it all got started...

In 2005, The Gardner Team helped organized and sponsor the neighborhood garage sale where they lived in Sherwood.  Over the years they've expanded this community service to additional neighborhoods around Sherwood with dozens of homes, multi-family sales and now real estate partners who've teamed up to participate.  Today, people from all over have made shopping in Sherwood a tradition and travel here strengthening our local economy each year.

As consumers ourselves, we understand that shoppers want to shop where they can visit the most number of garage sales in a centralized area and in the shortest period of time, that's why we combine our efforts and provide the convenience shoppers are looking for - translating to the successful sales our participating neighborhoods are after.  With the economy being what it is, now more than ever we can relate with how much families appreciate this opportunity -- the ability to simplify, make some extra cash and find bargains on things they need themselves.

Working closely with the City of Sherwood and respective HOA's, we help to insure requirements are met.  With time and resources donated by each neighborhood sponsor, Sherwood's BIGGEST multi-neighborhood garage sale event is professionally publicized through neighborhood communication, heavy advertising such as custom signage, newspaper ads, extensive online marketing and social media efforts. 

Consolidating area garage sales during the last weekend in June provides extreme convenience to both shoppers and participants.  Having a neighborhood sponsored event also helps you and the City you live in and care about in many ways, such as... 

• You save time and money leaving required policy, procedure and advertising costs to the sponsor.
  
• It beautifies your community through the use of professional signage -- eliminating un-approved signs posted (and often times left up) around the neighborhood, in town, on city lights, stop signs and poles.  
• One big neighborhood sale prevents several garage sales dragging out over a stretch of time around you.
• Neighborhood garage sales drive interest - bringing more people to Sherwood.  This helps your sale and strengthens the economy as they spend money with you and businesses around town.
• With scheduled events going on EVERY weekend during the summer in Sherwood, choosing to participate during what's become the largest garage sale weekend (the last weekend in June) is a smart decision.  Eliminating inevitable schedule conflicts protects both your best efforts and those by the city and local organizations that host big community events and festivals throughout the summer months.
  

The Annual Sherwood Community Garage Sale Event will always be held the last weekend of June.  As a community service of The Gardner Team and our partners, we work closely with the City of Sherwood to insure all paperwork is completed, requirements are met and costs are covered so our neighborhoods can enjoy the simplicity of hosting their own individual garage sales with the details and marketing taken care of for them... Here's to your success!

Over the years we've been hosting the Heron Ridge and Neighbors garage sales, these established neighborhood sales get better each year with continued growth, more homes and neighborhoods participating to include the Renaissance Homes which we featured as part of our existing sale this year.  We take great pride in organizing this community service event that adds to the value of our community.  WIth so many neighborhoods participating around Sherwood, this much anticipated Sherwood Garage Sale weekend held annually in June always draws people in from near and far. 

Understanding that people look for garage sales online, such as Craigslist and garage sale registries on the web, we felt it was just as important to add a website among other media and advertising channels we've used over the years to increase the markteing and exposure that both the community and shoppers can benefit from.  With that, we hope you'll enjoy this new website, blog and facebook page we added this year that's sure to help you stay better connected whether you're selling or shopping in Sherwood.
