Bonner County History Museum announces fundraising yard sale

The Bonner County History Museum is excited to announce its upcoming fundraising yard sale.

The sale will be held on Saturday, Sept. 1, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m in front of the museum, 611 S. Ella, in Lakeview Park. Looking for a special treasure, come down and see what’s for sale. This yard sale is made possible by all the generous patrons of Bonner County who have donated items to be sold at the sale. The yard sale slogan, “not from the museum, for the museum,” assures customers that the museum will absolutely not be including any items from the collection in the sale. Anything being sold has been generously donated for the purpose of fundraising.

Have something you would like to donate? De-clutter and help the museum at the same time by donating your stuff to our first yard sale Fundraiser. All proceeds benefit the museum, all donations are tax deductible, and no item is too big or too small. We will be accepting donations up until 4 p.m. on Aug. 31. Unsold items after the sale will be donated to various second hand stores around Bonner County.
