Insider tip: One of the largest rummage sales in the world – get there early and prepare to dig in

Info: It’s the 61st year for the annual Catlin Gabel Rummage Sale, always held the first weekend in November.

As one of the largest rummage sales in the world, it fills 88,000 square feet and uses more than 1,000 volunteers week-of to help put it together. The event rases approximately a quarter million dollars each year to benefit student financial aid at the school.

The last day, Sunday, is open by invite only to nonprofit organizations and recyclers.
