Bring the kids...the grandkids....I hear Dolphin Tale is an awesome movie.  We will be showing it on the big screen in the Bridge auditorium at ABT (Akron Baptist Temple ~ 2324 Manchester Road, Akron, OH  44314)

Tables are available for $20.00 if you want to bring your spring cleaning down to sell. We will also offer haul away service so you don't have to figure out what to do with the stuff you didn't sell and that you are tired of looking at and you definitely do NOT want it back in your home ever again!!!!

Otherwise...the team will have items to sell and some refreshments to make your shopping go a little smoother.  Call us at 330-329-2996 or email us at hondomissions@gmail.com to reserve your table!!!

We are on Facebook. And we will be advertising at Akron Baptist Temple, in the Trading Post, in the Barberton Herald (hopefully) and we are online at yardsalesearch.com
