The Lakeshore Humane Society's 20th Annual Giant Yard Sale will be held Friday, August 16 from 9 am to 4 pm (a day of early bird shopping, with a $3 entrance fee for this day only); Saturday, August 17 from 9 am to 4 pm; and Sunday, August 18 from 9 am to 3 pm in Floral Hall at the Chautauqua County Fairgrounds. The Fairgrounds is located at 1089 Central Avenue in Dunkirk. The Yard Sale is LHS's biggest fundraiser of the year, as the organization works to help companion animals be safe, healthy, and find permanent, loving homes. All three days of the event, there will also be a bake sale, basket drawings, a special "Rake in the Bucks" drawing (a rake full of scratch-off tickets), and hot dogs and drinks for sale. Gently used items to be contributed to the Yard Sale can be dropped off at Floral Hall Tuesday, August 13 and Wednesday, August 14 from 10 am to 6 pm each day. (Drop-offs of donated items will not be accepted on Thursday, August 15. Please do NOT bring items to the LHS Adoption Center.) LHS respectfully asks that donated objects be in saleable condition. Also, please, no large appliances, microwaves, metal bed springs, mattresses, tires, magazines, textbooks, encyclopedias, clothing, shoes, suitcases, VHS tapes, cassette tapes, electronics (TVs, computer monitors, towers and printers), or outdoor plants. (Due to NYS regulations involving invasive species, LHS cannot sell outdoor plants. LHS can only sell indoor house plants.) LHS appreciates the community's support of this major fundraiser. If anyone would like to volunteer to assist in the work at the Yard Sale, please call the LHS Adoption Center at 716-672-1991 and leave a message.
