By Dr. G (Dr Luis S González), community writer
n Saturday, October 1, ten families, who live on the 400 block of East O Street put their time and efforts together for a huge yard sale “in the neighborhood.” For the third year in a row, these residents have collaborated during the fall season to gather their extra items they no longer need or want, and display them out to the public for sale.
“The bargains are plenty,” says Norma Gallardo, one of the curious visitors to the East O Street location. Ashley, who came from across town with her father, were looking for some kind of chairs for her kitchen.
“We found two bar stools, and paid $5 for each one – fantastic!” she exclaimed.

The organizers of this neighborhood event were Candy Vasquez and Veronica Gonzales Castro, who are neighbors and good friends. They are also good friends with Dr. G, who has been invited each of the three years to visit, lend his support, and make public announcements.
“Putting this event together takes work, but is well worth the effort,” smiles Veronica, who along with Candy made flyers, walked the neighborhood, helped to set up tables, and made sure everyone had plenty of water.
Christina, one of the residents who had a display made $35 in the first hour and was looking forward to the day of potential sales. “It’s not much, she photo DR. G commented, but continued, Veronica Gonzales Castro, co-coordinator; Dr. G Council Member and commuYard sale, cont. next pg.
