The 3rd Saturday in October is always a Big day for the Twelve Oaks community! Get your trash and treasures ready! Now is the time to bring out all those items that have worn out their welcome at your house and consider getting rid of them at the 39th Annual Twelve Oaks Garage Sale. What one person considers junk, another may consider a treasure. The sale will take place Saturday, October 18th. Classified ads will be placed in various newspapers and on social media advertising the event and signs will be posted throughout our community, all provided by TOCA. Now, all we need is YOU and your willingness to clean up, clean out, set up, earn some money, do some shopping, and meet your neighbors. Above all else, have some fun! MARK YOUR CALENDAR NOW AND JOIN IN THE FUN. YOU MAY EARN SOME MONEY, MAKE SOME NEW FRIENDS, AND FIND A TREASURE OR TWO YOURSELVES.
Important Message: Neither TOCA nor TOSD advocates the selling of alcohol during the Garage Sale. Any resident selling alcohol will be reported to the Sheriff’s Department. A person or business must obtain a Florida Alcoholic Beverage License in order to sell any kind of alcoholic beverage in the state of Florida. In addition one must obtain a permit from Hillsborough County. (Re: Hillsborough County Land Development Code: Sec. 6.11.11. Alcoholic Beverage Use)
Safety First: Don’t Let Anyone In Your House!
Not to use the bathroom (Direct them to the public bathroom at Publix.)
Not to try on clothes (Provide a tape measure.)
Not to use the phone (Do not give out your home number – if they want to contact you about an item at a later date, take their number instead. They know where you live.)
Watch your sale items! Yes, unfortunately, people shoplift at garage sales, too. It’s much safer to wear your money in a waist pack than to use a cash box that has to be watched and could be stolen.
Be safety conscious. Look for and remove any safety hazards in your yard and driveway. People can trip over hoses, sprinklers, etc.
Keep an eye on children and pets, yours and theirs.
