The Grandma's Attic Sale will be held in the Commercial Building near the front entrance of the Fowlerville Fairgrounds on Thurs. and Fri, May 16 and May 17 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. and will conclude on Saturday, May 18, 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. No entrance fee and there is a lot of free parking. Items will be sold for reasonable donations during the 3-day sale and all proceeds go to the Historic Village building projects, maintenance, preservation and restoration.

Volunteers are needed for all days, for both set-up and during the sale. It's a great opportunity to help the Historic Village and to meet other community members, or even to log community service hours. The Historic Society will meet (the first Tuesday monthly meeting) Tues., May 7th, 11:30 a.m. at the First United Methodist Church in Fowlerville to make final plans for the sale.

Anyone interested in helping may contact Erin through Facebook/Livingston Centre Historical Village. For more information, email LCHV2023@gmail.com or call the Fowlerville Family Fair Office, 517-223-8186.
