Get ready for Great Glebe GREEN Garage Sale

It’s that time of the year again . . . for the Great Glebe Garage Sale. And it’s green, capital letters and all.

This year, the local environmental group Ecology Ottawa will be hosting it. There will also be local performances: Phantom Shores, The Pelts, The Hornettes, Umbrella Protest, DJ Eric Roberts and DJ Hobo vs DJ Sweet Cheeks.

It starts bright and early tomorrow morning at 8am and runs until 4pm. But if you really want to get the best deals, show up earlier and bargain or show up late and get whatever’s left over for super cheap. A few years ago we got a brand-new-never-opened fondue set for 10 cents.
