“This was my first ever Yard Sale Downtown and I was truly blown away! I cannot believe how good sales were! Thanks again great event!”

Jeff Robins, Mane Street Hair Salon

“This years Hottest Yard Sale was a huge success for The Candy Store.  Not only were downtown (street) sales three times higher than the previous year but the traffic through the store was significantly greater as well.  Many customers that visited the store commented that they had already been to our booth on Second Avenue.   It was great to have a busy day filled with cheerful people.”

Renee Fair, The Candy Store Emporium

“What a great day Saturday was! I’m so glad we decided to participate with an outdoor table. I thought the performances at City Hall created a great level of energy and excitement, and gave the whole thing a nice ‘festival feel’. Business was great for us, and we recognize that we benefitted from a great deal of exposure. All in all, very successful.”

Tessa Snider, Sweetpea Wholesome Baby

“We had a very good business day on Saturday (HYS) … There was a real jump start at our (store/vendor) site, with people buying before we were completely set up … I loved the stage at 9th Street intersection, and the tables and chairs with the flowers were very colourful and inviting. It is great to give people a chance to sit down, especially in the heat of the day. The on-street buskers that were in our block were great! … So thanks for all the work you and your committee(s) put into it, it was another successful event.”

Bea Miller, Phoenix Book Store

“First of all I want to say a big thank-you to you and the organizing committee for putting on such a wonderful event! It takes a lot of time and effort to organize, plan and implement such a large event with so many participants. You and the committee did an amazing job! … I really appreciate your efforts to get more equalized traffic throughout the entire sale. It was a great idea to have the KidsZone in the Metro parking lot … Overall it was a fun day and nice that the weather cooperated!”
