Great Canadian Yard Sale

By David Griffith


The dogs were hot, the beer was cold, and the goods were sold.  With more that 20 individual sellers at the Canadian International School’s Tajong Katong campus, the second annual Great Canadian Yard Sale was a great success as money was raised for The Run for Hope.

As the clock struck twelve-noon the gates at the front of the CIS opened up and the buying frenzy began.  After an hour most of the selling had finished and people were left to relax and enjoy delicious hot dogs and cold beer.


Many thanks to all those who donated their un-wanted items to charity, and to all those who lent a hand in organizing this year’s event.  Finally, a special thank you to Brewerkz for donating the ice-cold suds, Santa Fe for the tables and canopies, and the Canadian International School for loaning the premises,
barbecue and chairs.  Start stock piling your stuff and we’ll see you next year!
