"Squirrel season" garage sales this weekend listed

Listed below are the garage sales in Avoyelles Parish to be held this Saturday.

The weekend marks the opening squirrel hunting season and has become the unofficial Avoyelles Parish holiday. Hunters and families take to the woods and family and friends camps for the weekend of fun, food and quality time together. While the boys go hunting, the "squirrel widows," women and girls (mostly), take to the parish streets for garage sales.

Many families bundle their garage sales together for main events on Saturday morning and this year the Blue Town community has taken their annual multi-family garage sale up a notch to include a community bake sale.

Even churches get in on the shopping action with sales inside church halls.

Whether it is in the Avoyelles Parish outdoors or taking to the streets, we wish all of the weekend "hunters" good luck!
