It has become so exasperating. It seems that it doesn't matter what weekend is picked for the yard sales, it is not nice to us. For the last few years the Elgin and Area Lions have also been having their BBQ sale on the same weekend.
One weekend was so bad there was a dirt storm, not a dust storm, a dirt storm, the farmer just west of the village had decided to plow or seed or whatever his field. The wind that day came from the west. Everything and I mean everything, was covered in a layer of oily dirt. Where the oily part came from I don't have a clue, but it was hard to clean up as the duster wouldn't clean up all of it. A pail of warm soapy water had to follow the duster to make a good clean up.
I must say though that regardless of the wind and dirt, the Lions did have a fairly good BBQ sale. The community really did support it.
This year the weekend is not looking good again. We can only hope that our efforts will be well supported.
By the way, regardless of the weather, come out and join us and while here, look at the yard sales that will be available.
