In spite of a bit of spotty rain - the 2004 yard sale was a huge success. The weather held out for most of the day and there were bargains galore.

The sale has become a Regent Square tradition on the first weekend after Mother's Day.

Thanks to all who registered, and a big thanks to folks who helped with the event as well as those who came to enjoy the fun in Regent Square.

The signs were everywhere in the neighborhood.

Lots of balloons were out to mark the spots!

Acres and acres of objects were laid out in Regent Square for the Yard Sale.

Lots of happy shoppers were out too.

 

These young shoppers were our for more toys...

 

Everyone was smiling and having a great time!

Well, almost everyone, this poor fellow was just tired of it all - not even the balloon would cheer him up. Perhaps he was just shopped out?

At some stops it was wall-to-wall people.

If you couldn't find your way, there was an Information Booth at the Regent Square Theater staffed with some smiling faces to help you out. They even had maps and item listings to make it convenient!

But if you couldn't find your way, some sellers made sure that you got a small pointer where to find them!

Did someone check this out of the library and forget to return it? How much the overdue fine are for the card catalogue?! Just about everything is for sale it seems!

This woman wanted to know if someone would make an offer for her husband - slightly used but otherwise in good condition.

It was a family affair for some folks - everyone got in the act and was selling things.

 

Over at the Wilkins School Community Center, there was a great flea market too.

 

The Wilkins School Community Center Book Sale was also a reader's paradise.

Artist Ida Clowney was selling some of her featured dolls. She's famous - Mr. Rogers had her on an episode showing her unique dolls and crafts.

Wilkinsburg artist Rhoda Williams is showing off some of her beautiful designs. She does amazing custom work.

There seemed to be acres of goods in the Wilkins School.

Cashiers reported that sales were brisk.

Outside the Wilkins School, folks were enjoying snacks.

Outside the center, director Kay Wetzel (left), stops to enjoy a treat herself.

The sign outside really paid off!

The friendly police were on hand to keep order - or were they also checking out some items?

Some sellers were really nice - offering free coffee.

This cat was tired of watching "Animal Planet" on the small screen TV. She upgraded to a bigger model and was trying to get rid of the old set.

Down the street, a dog was selling off some family portraits.

Her eyes were bigger than her car...!

It was a common problem, just not quite enough room!

This car won the prize for most packed - did they leave room for the driver?

Another happy family - the Gannon's were delighted with the results of the sale.

Free to a good home!

It probably disappeared by the end of the day! See you next year!
