Village-wide garage sale planned in Amityville for Saturday, October 19 Deadline to sign up for permit is Friday, October 10 By CAROLYN JAMES cjames @liherald.com
Amityville residents have until October 10 to register to be part of a Village-wide garage sale at their homes Oct. 19 from 9 a.m., to 4 p.m. Residents can register to be part of the event by emailing mayor@amityville.com using “garage sale” in the subject line, or by calling the Village at 631-264-6000. The rain date is Sun., Oct. 20. “This is our take on a popular event that has been successful in many other towns and villages,” said Amityville Village Mayor Dennis M. Siry. “It is a nice community event that will
bring in people to our Village and also help out some of our local businesses.” Residents should note that the Village is waiving permit fees for this event and the sale does not count toward the maximum number of garage sales residents can have in a year. A listing of all the homes participating in the event will be published with locations to guide shoppers at amityvillevillage.com and also posted on Facebook: Amityville Village Hall. To date, more than 30 residents have registered, with more coming in every day, said Village officials.
