About the Greater Barn Sale
The Greater Barn Sale provides the largest source of funds in support of BRA programs. It does so through the sale of donated items – e.g., furniture, clothing, kitchenware, linens, pictures, China, glassware, knick-knacks – that are no longer needed. Not only does this assist residents and their families in recycling those items, but it helps build a sense of community on the part of participating residents. Residents, staff, families and friends are all able to make purchases at very reasonable prices.
​
The Barn Sale is staffed by a team of resident volunteers who receive, price and sell donations from our community. Click here to view the Barn Sale's organization.
Last year’s net contribution by the Greater Barn Sale (GBS) to the BRA amounted to $64k
There currently are three components: Mini Barn Sales, the Old & New Shop and Sales by Appointment.
Semi Annual Barn Sales. These sales traditionally occur in October and April at time announced. These occur on a Friday and Saturday in the on the ground floor of the Community Center and the Barn Sale Workroom, located on the back hallway of the lower level of the Community Center. The sales are open to residents, team members, family, and friends of each group. Contact: Judy Lorenz or Lucy Wright
The Old & New Shop offers an assortment of higher end merchandise, items that you might like to give a friend or family member. These items, donated by residents, include jewelry, clothing, home decor, furniture, clothing and books. The Shop also features a selection of greeting cards for many occasions, as well as cards designed by resident artists, stamps, and Broadmead Honey in season. Contact: Connie McCulloch
Sales by Appointment are those that do not occur in conjunction with a Mini Barn Sale or the Old & New Shop; they can be arranged at any time. Many of the items being sold are furniture and involve Tom Boytim, the Furniture Department Head as the contact.
