The Mother Of All Yard Sales
posted (June 25, 2010)
It's an American tradition, but you probably know what a yard sale is - where a family or an organization cleans out all its old storage and puts everything out for sale, at low prices just to get rid of them.

And that's what Crimestoppers is doing tomorrow - but this is no ordinary sale. In fact, it may be the mother of all yard sales. They're selling beds, doors, computers, lightbulbs, household items, clothing, electronics, even boats and cars! Cisco Woods told us why it's a worthy cause and a great sale:

Cisco Woods
"This yard is our fourth annual yard sale and its building quite a reputation for having great deals for everyone from pampers to big excavators or big boats for guys so we have everything in between. We do need finances to run the whole program to make ads to print posters to pay rewards to pay for that kind of stuff so we need get the money to run all of that stuff."

"Where do all the items come from for the yard sale?"

Cisco Woods
"From various houses and inviduals, we have just everything you could imagine. All kind of folks are donating. We have stuff that are made in the prison available for sale tomorrow."

Emaun Hyde
"How much money are you guys hoping to raise here tomorrow?"

Cisco Woods
"We sure hope to raise about $20,000 - $25,000 that's the most we ever raise at a sale and we are trying to match that."

The yard sale will be at Old Belize tomorrow from 10 am until.

Notably, A tip from Crime-stoppers is what recently led to the capture of Dioncio Life Salazar.
