For many years a Citywide Garage Sale has been held on the third weekend of May. The Daily Jefferson County Union has sold ads for the sale. This year the paper told a reader that although they will continue to run ads for sales in Fort Atkinson, Jefferson and Watertown, they will no longer be doing so in Whitewater.

The Whitewater Banner has offered free garage sale ads throughout the “season,” and will continue that tradition this year. This includes the Citywide Garage Sale, May 15-17. Details of our offer are shown below.

A Banner Service: Garage Sale Ads

As a result of a reader’s comment that it’s hard to find garage sales in Whitewater now that we no longer have a weekly shopper, the Banner staff agreed to begin a complimentary “consolidated” garage sale posting that will be published by Thursday morning for the upcoming weekend’s sales. This announcement will only be for garage sales (a sale of miscellaneous household goods, often held in the garage or front yard of someone’s house) in the city and school district boundaries. We will not be accepting, for example, ads for cars or other items that are not part of a scheduled garage sale. There will be a limit of three times per year for a particular property. 

Those wishing to place a notice must send the information to whitewaterbanner@gmail.com by Wednesday at 6 p.m. You may include a brief description of the items that are for sale, the hours and days of the sale, and of course your address. A few photos may also be included if desired; we prefer jpg format if possible.
