Eagle Lake Garage Sale — Saturday, May 9, 2020 (CANCELED)
The ELIA Board of Directors has canceled the Garage Sale because of the CoronaVirus pandemic and the restrictions that have been placed on Kandiyohi County residents beginning in March. We are hopeful to reschedule the Garage Sale for a Saturday later in June, but, we will need to be aware and cognizant of the restrictions in place at that time. If the limitations of interaction between people are lifted, we will move forward with announcing a date.
