The sky was overcast at 8 a.m. Aug. 18, when the Knights of Columbus yard sale began at St. Anne’s Catholic Church. As time went on, however, the skies brightened, and there was a steady stream of customers hunting for bargains until the sale ended at 3 p.m.

Bargains there were on such items as toys, books, vases, tools, furniture, computer equipment, luggage and decorative objects. Many of the shoppers were St. Anne’s parishioners; others spotted the sale as they drove down Washington Avenue between Linden Street and Easton Avenue.

Proceeds from the sale will go to St. Anne’s, to several charities, such as Mary’s Shelter, Special Olympics, Arc of the Lehigh Valley, Coats for Kids, among others, as well as to individuals in need. The 2017 sale netted approximately $1,000 for charity.
