Yard Sales and Scavenger Hunts

May 1 is the town wide yard sale in Rensselaer, and most of the community will be out hitting the streets in search of a good deal.

Of course we know one of the best deals in the community are the free books, movies and services provided by the library, but you can rest assured we'll still be here when you're done shopping, or when you're ready for a break.

Tomorrow, we expect, will also introduce a new crowd to the library. Just for the fun of it, a group of local businesses have arranged a scavenger hunt to go on during the day. Proceeds will benefit local organizations including the Jasper County Animal Shelter and the Crisis Center.

Without giving anything away, we can say we are a stop on the scavenger hunt trail, and we hope to see you tomorrow. For more information about the hunt, look for signs in participating businesses, or check out the website at http://www.huntrensselaer.com/.

Good luck to all the teams hunting tomorrow, and for those doing their own special deal hunting.
