Did you see us in Ellettsville for the Monroe County Fall Festival Parade? The MCHC Garage Sale Ladies came with three amazing vehicles and some great volunteers to promote our June Sale.

We’d like to thank Josie, Jade, Mason, Autumn and Garrison for walking with the History Center’s Garage Sale Ladies entry in the Fall Festival Parade. Their energy and enthusiasm were a highlight of our day.
