Hour*: Thurs & Fri 9:30 -7:00 Wed & Sat 9:30-2:00 Perennial Day Tag sale grows bigger Benefits go to the Perquimans Rescue From staff reports Fifteen years ago, the residents of the then fair ly new Albemarle Planta tion decided to have a tag sale to unload the things they no longer needed. They also decided the proceeds should go to ben efit the Perquimans Coun ty Rescue Squad to assist in obtaining equipment and upgrading the skill level of the personnel. The first sale took place in the vacant lot next to the Family Dollar and the “bargains” were put out on a couple of tables and laid on sheets spread on the asphalt — and the shoppers unpacked the boxes. The next year the sale was held in the garage bays at the Perquimans County Rescue Squad at First and Ainsley streets. Eventually, as donations increased over the years, holding it there created a logistics nightmare of sorts. Ambulances had to be moved out of the build ing so that the “bargains” could be carried in. Tables were set up and everything had to be unpacked, distributed around, and then priced. In those years at the squad many items had to be left out overnight as the in side space was full. In the wee hours of the morning on sale day, the furniture pieces were put out on the lawn and the workers watched as the. line started to form well before the 8 a m. start time. Squad members made breakfast for everyone (and still do by the way) before the sale began. Many items were still hid den in boxes, under the ta: bles, at the start because there just wasn’t enough space to display it all up top% As the tables emptied more was put out. Fast forward to four years ago (2008) when the sale moved to the Perqui mans County Recreation Center on Granby Street. BOY WHAT A DIFFER ENCE! By then many more people had moved to Albemarle Plantation and the volume of everything Operation CATSnip' slates three clinics From staff reports Operation CatSNIP, a low-cost, spay-neuter clin ic for cats, is now taking applications for the-fol lowing clinic dates: Friday, May 25; Friday June 8; and Saturday, July 14.
