The Lake George Examiner sent a crew to Warrensburg Saturday morning, Oct. 1, to examine the 2022 World’s Largest Garage Sale. As always, the combination of flea markets, antique dealers, arts and crafts vendors, food trucks and homeowner yard sales provided an entertaining and interesting day. Among the usual deals on socks, tools and cookware, the team spotted lamps crafted from metal piping, Beetle Juice leggings, taxidermied critters and lots of dolls.
Restaurants up and down Main Street and Hudson Street set up their grills along the sidewalks and were serving up egg sandwiches and bowls of chili. Loxlin “Loxli” Paige, an enterprising little girl, sold cups of lemonade from a stand on her grandmother’s front lawn. At the bandstand in the center of town, Andrew LaMora sang and played his guitar for the tips dropped into his guitar case.
The traffic moved smoothly through town Saturday morning, and it appeared that many shoppers took advantage of the free parking and shuttle bus service offered by the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce.
The garage sale officially began Friday, Sept. 30, and several homeowners who were holding yard sales said they had strong sales on Friday; Saturday’s crowds, one seller said, were sporadic with a crowd filling his yard one minute, then leaving it empty the next.
The 2022 World’s Largest Garage Sale continues through Sunday, Oct. 2. Most vendors are open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The garage sale, a tradition in Warrensburg since 1979, is held the first weekend of October each year.
