Tis the season for fall yard sales and Patch offers you a free way to reach the community.
Fall is the perfect time to make a little extra cash by hosting a yard sale and getting rid of that extra stuff cluttering your home or garage. Whether you are a homeowner, church group, civic organization or sports team, you can let the community know about your upcoming sale by posting it on our events calendar, for free. And if you are heading out on the garage-sale circuit, access the locations on your smart phone by downloading the Patch app. Here’s how to post your garage sale: Now the whole Duluth Patch community will know about your sale, so you better get busy tagging those items!
