If your favorite hobby is spending the day searching for treasures at one yard sale after another, head to Glenwood next weekend.

Residents will be selling a multitude of items gleaned from spring cleaning, downsizing and moving projects, all along a six-mile stretch of Highway 180 in Glenwood.

Sales will be set up Friday May 23 and Saturday May 24 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. from Pleasanton, south of Glenwood to a bit north of Glenwood.

The TGI Frybread food truck will be on hand for anyone who gets the munchies.

Glenwood Trading Post  will be a major player at this event, featuring old furniture from the Lariat motel,  2 new ac units, a Ruby gas station pos system with all the parts,  a few beautiful glass-front cabinets, some really good working antique cash registers, plus tables and chairs and much more. Bring a truck, bring a trailer. 

Here’s the best part — everything the trading post is selling in this yard sale is tax deductible! All monies raised will go to the 4th of July fireworks show which draws hundreds of spectators from both Catron and Grant counties.

Nearby Mule Creek on Highway 78 is also planning a Community Yard Sale.
