Mon, 08/16/2010
Local nonprofit Environmental Coalition of South Seattle – with generous support from Providence Regina House, Seattle Parks and Rec, Community Coalition for Environmental Justice, Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition, South Park Neighborhood Association, and South Park Arts - is hosting a community BBQ and garage sale on August 21st from 11-3 at the Duwamish Waterway Park.
The event will feature free BBQ (vegetarian friendly), kayaking, entertainment, kids crafts, activities from DRCC and South Park Arts and more - plus the opportunity to get great deals on gently used items.
Better yet - all proceeds from the garage sale will go towards establishing WiFi internet access along the 14th Avenue retail corridor. All items that do not sell will be donated to the Providence Regina House.
Come meet neighbors new and old, enjoy free barbeque, snacks and family-friendly activities, and get great deals on garage sale items, all while supporting South Park!
