Always a busy day, this year’s Merrickville Garage Sale held on Saturday, May 7 didn’t disappoint. Crowds descended on the village looking for bargains throughout the village. Parking was the usual nightmare, but shoppers seemed to be enjoying themselves on what turned out to be a sunny day. Shown here crowds on St. John Street, one road off the main drag, browsing for bargains.
