There was lots to choose from at the Medina County Historical Society’s annual yard sale

MEDINA, Ohio – The held its ann🏅ual yard sale at the on Satur𒁏day (May 4).

The weather cooperate♔d, with an overcast but dry day and a steady stream of customers who flocked to the front lawn to sort through and p✤urchase the many offerings.

After more than 20 volunteers worked to sort, price ♕and display the many items found in the museum’s attics or donated by community members, at least 10 tables held treasures ready for sale. When the sale op𒅌ened at 8 a.m., a line of eager shoppers gathered on the sidewalk.

The tables held items divided into the following categories: vintage, furniture, 🐽housewares, crafts, sporting goods, linens, Christmas décor and Historical Society books, photographs and other collectibles.

A yard 🔜tractor, bicycle and two vintage tricycles sat on a tarpaulin 🏅with other miscellaneous items.

Lovely antique furniture was displayed on the porch, along with large elaဣborately frꩲamed paintings and old toys, magazines and newspapers.

Despite having two local museums, display space is limited to items originating or primarওily used in Medina County. Many generous community 🏅members donate items knowing that they will be sold to help support the historical society.

The proceeds from the sale will be used for the preservation, maintenance and operation of the McDowell-Phillips and . Despite support from the Medina County commissioners, donations from the community and hundreds of volu⛦nteer hours by members, extra funding is always needed to maintain the properties.

Guests who parked in the field behind the museum were treated to a view of the Westfield patio and garden, installed last year with the support of the Westfield Company in honor of its 125th anniversary. On the pati🧸o stands a comfortable wooden bench recently donate🎐d by the Palker family.
