As the city-wide garage sale is coming up this Saturday in Great Bend, the Golden Belt
Humane Society is gearing up for arguably the largest garage sale next month.
The yearly sale helps raise funds for the humane society, just south of Great
Bend, to purchase supplies or equipment needed to care for the animals.
The garage sale used to be held at the shelter on South U.S. 281 Highway, but
Golden Belt Humane Society Director Heather Acheson said the event has been held
at the Great Bend Events Center the last few years because they needed more
space.
"Last year was our biggest garage sale ever," said Acheson. "We filled that entire Events Center room, from front to back. Every inch was filled up."
If anyone is interested in donating items to the humane society for their garage
sale, they can drop them off at the shelter until Aug. 18.
The sale will span over two days at the Events Center, including Aug. 19 from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Aug. 20 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
