Surprises for
Sellers and Shoppers!
The
Thurman Townwide Sale is always a fun-filled weekend, with lots of surprises for
sellers and shoppers alike. Sellers are always amazed at all the "stuff"
they find stashed away once they begin their spring cleaning, and how many items
they can put out for explorers at the annual sale. There are household items,
tools, toys, vehicles, boats, plants, clothing, crafts, musical instruments, antiques
and collectibles--you just never know what you will find. Once in awhile sellers
and shoppers alike are surprised by inclement weather, but we always make an effort
to continue the sale no matter what Mother Nature dishes out, so come on over.

Maps will be distributed at the sales nearest the borders of town. Follow pink
