Treasure hunting on the Navesink

RED BANK — The Friends of the Red Bank Public Library are organizing the fifth annual Red Bank Townwide Yard Sale on Saturday, May 5, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Complete details for shoppers and sellers alike, including registration information, are available at the Red Bank Public Library, 84 West Front St. and the library’s website, www.lmxac.org/redbank. Addresses of participating homes will be made available the Friday before the sale.

Treasure hunters can spend the morning searching out bargains and visiting the downtown for some lunch. Over 100 households have participated each year, so there is sure to be something for everyone. The social aspect of the yard sale is apparent in the sidewalks filled with people chatting about their finds, mingling with friends, and trying to get the best price with some good-natured haggling.

All proceeds from the yard sale registrations will benefit the Friends of the Red Bank Public Library.
