A community garage sale and fundraiser will take place this weekend to benefit the restoration of the Independent Community Center’s historic bell tower. The two-day event is scheduled to run from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.
The sale will be held at the old schoolhouse, located at the corner of Fern Road and Airport Avenue, with all proceeds going toward the project. Community members are invited to browse donated items while supporting the preservation effort.
The project in its entirety will include rebuilding the front porch and bell tower and painting the building’s exterior.
Organizers are still accepting item donations and encourage anyone with questions to reach out via email at Iccschoolhouse@gmail.com or by calling or texting 541-602-1692 or 508-498-2989.
Refreshments will be provided throughout the weekend for shoppers.
The fundraising garage sale represents a grassroots effort to preserve local historic architecture through community involvement and support.
