POSTPONED: Madison & The Chathams Town-wide Yard Sale

Despite wanting to hold this community event rain or shine, the weather forecast for April 29 calls for continuous and heavy rain. Therefore, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone it to Saturday, May 6. We realize this may be a big inconvenience, but feel it is necessary. We will email all registrants to confirm if you wish to be on the map for the new date.

Note: You are welcome to hold a yard sale on your own on April 29 and you can also be on the map for next week if you choose to do both Saturdays.

Please direct any immediate concerns to the Environmental Commission of The Chathams and Madison at MEC@rosenet.org
