Windy sale day
Despite high winds, a good crowd of garage salers took part in Saturday’s New Richmond community-wide garage sale promotion. Terry Meyer, a homeowner in the Southview area, held a garage sale over the weekend as part of the annual House-To-House Garage Sale event sponsored by the New Richmond Area Chamber of Commerce and the New Richmond News. Meyer was selling her antique decorations during the community garage sale. She was last year’s winner of the Christmas house light decoration contest, so she was also selling lots of lights.
