Suggestion Box: Buying Junk, Tossing Junk And Fishing For Prizes

By N3 Staff 
Busy weekend coming up, the first glimpse of June and many activities kicking into gear.
Here are a few.
The epic and abundant  Hess Lake Yard Sales begin Friday morning and continue Saturday. Like junkin’? Grabbing a few of those items no longer of use for the sellers but are destined to find a home with you? This is the place to be, because lake folks tend to have limited room and from time to time have made the move from a larger home to a cottage or lake house with less storage than once enjoyed.
In other words generally some good stuff. N3 World Headquarters once participated in this years ago and learned quickly to get over the hurt inflicted when a once treasured item that is marked down to next to nothing is bargained for but, hey, that’s what junkin’ is all about so if you’re hosting, set aside your pride and get rid of stuff. That’s the purpose of having one anyway, right? Of course this excludes the yard sales seemingly  approaching their silver anniversary of being in business.

Brooks Township is having their Trash Collection Day at the township office Saturday from 8am-2pm for township residents.
A good place to get rid of stuff to be sure  but when it comes to some of the nasty stuff?

Saturday, also from 8am- 2pm is the Annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection the county’s gift to area residents as well as the environment. This event held at the NC Road Commission Building in White Cloud removes more unwanted materials from our area than one can even imagine. N3 staff will be on hand to help out in case any breaking news erupts at the site creating the need for a quick article or two.

Perhaps the premier event of the year, the one that never fails to capture the imagination of those who attend is the Annual Russell. Gilbert Memorial Kids Free Fishing Day in White Cloud. Registration for the Saturday fish frenzy starts at 8am and fishing starts at 9.
If you have never been it is nearly indescribable though we have tried each year to give it the accolades it truly deserves. This group of folks do it right and they do it on their own soliciting donations, organizing the activities surrounding it, and putting it on with an efficiency that is a marvel to behold,
Lots and lots of smiles here. Check out their ad on our home page or visit them on facebook.
Great event, great people, and the hands down cutest fishing tournament in the universe.

And remember when its too hot to cook we have an abundance of enticing eateries about who likely are less frugal with their air conditioning than you might be.
