Love a good bargain? If so, you含羞草研究社檒l want to check out this weekend含羞草研究社檚 huge garage sale on wheels  Saturday from 8 a.m. until noon at Okanagan College.

The annual fall Trunk Sale, organized by the regional waste reduction office, features over 130 vendors selling their stuff straight from the trunks of their vehicles in the parking lot  next to the OC student residence buildings.

Rae Stewart, waste reduction facilitator, says the trunk sales promote reuse and recycling, and deals are the order of the day.

含羞草研究社淧eople are really figuring out how to rethink and re-use, and second hand is a lot more chic than it used to be, which is great. This event is basically one community style garage sale, one convenient location, good food, tons of bargains, great for families.  It含羞草研究社檚 a terrific way to spend a Saturday morning," said Stewart.

Stewart said the regional district has hosted two trunk sales a year for the past few years which have been always quick to fill to vendor capacity, and this fall has been no different.

含羞草研究社淲e always have a wait list, and this time is no exception.含羞草研究社�  Stewart said. 含羞草研究社淲e initially designed these events for people in condos or apartments, those who don含羞草研究社檛 traditionally have the opportunity to host their own garage sales, but we don含羞草研究社檛 limit it, anyone can take part.

"We are full to capacity again this fall, but there含羞草研究社檚 always the next event in the spring if you want to sign up to be a seller. And of course we welcome you to come out this Saturday, shop to your hearts content, and experience the fun for yourself.含羞草研究社�

Stewart adds the premise beyond reuse and recycling is to keep any unnecessary and perfectly good material out of our one remaining landfill.

含羞草研究社淎fter the sale is over, we always have a number of charities on site so those participating don含羞草研究社檛 have to lug their items home again, they can simply donate them if they choose. This Saturday, Kelowna and District SHARE Society will be on hand to accept donations, as will Big Brothers Big Sisters, Planet Earth Recycling and the Canadian Diabetes Clothesline group.  Plus, the Okanagan Mission Lions Club volunteers en masse, will be selling pancake breakfasts by donation, and helping with traffic control."

The Kelowna campus of Okanagan College is located at 1000 KLO Rd. The event is free admission and will run rain or shine in parking lot 17.
