Mother Nature delivered some unpleasant weather for the annual Côte Saint-Luc Mega Garage Sale on Sunday, May 31 at the "covered" Confederation Annex of Pierre Elliott Trudeau Park, 6985 Mackle Rd. While it rained only briefly, the temperature was below 10 celcius – a far cry from the plus 30 the day before. I felt badly for all of the vendors wearing layers of clothing, including gloves.
There were 60 tables set up under the roof of the Confederation Annex. Prepared food was available on site.
Again this year, the Eleanor London Côte Saint-Luc Public Library had a table and was selling used books. The funds collected by the sale of used books will go towards the purchase of a piano for the library.
The Côte Saint-Luc Cats Committee was present to promote our trap, neuter and release or adopt program. Proceeds from our sales went to that program.
Some of the tables had pretty impressive merchandise. Despite the cool weather, people came out and did the tour. Hats off to our Parks and Recreation Department for once again steering the ship.
The annual Mega Garage Sale was launched in 2007.
