In 2023, the Bowmansville Fire Company (BFC) yard sale was rained out. The sub sandwich sale that is part of the event was still held, so the fundraiser was not a total washout.
This year, the sale is scheduled for Saturday, May 18, at the fire company, 146 W. Maple Grove Road, Bowmansville. According to BFC representative Zachary High, the yard sale usually attracts at least 30 area residents with items to sell. For a nominal fee, spaces are open to crafters and vendors as well. Readers who are interested may call 610-488-2882 to see if spaces are still available. Those renting spaces may set up beginning at 6 a.m. on the day of the event, and the yard sale will open at 7 a.m.
The BFC food stand will open at 6 a.m. to sell breakfast sandwiches, coffee, juice, and chocolate milk. The stand will remain open until 10 a.m.
According to BFC representative Leon King, the sub sandwich sale will also be held, and ham, Italian, and turkey subs will be sold until noon.
Past events have raised as much as $2,000 for BFC. King said that organizers hope to top that amount this year. Funds raised by the event will be utilized to help BFC purchase new firefighting equipment. "We are looking into the purchase of something new, but we don't know what type (of apparatus) yet," noted King.
