Downtown Copperas Cove will be filled with vendors peddling their treasures at the city wide spring garage sale, held by the Copperas Cove Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors.
The semiannual event takes place from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. in downtown Copperas Cove and provides a chance for locals to get rid of their unwanted items.
Those who participate often include nonprofit or student groups like the CCHS DECA Club, which last year sold garage sale items to raise funds to attend their international competition.
At tomorrow’s sale, the Bass Club, Cayden’s Hope, as well as Bountiful New Life Church are among the nonprofit vendors, with Bountiful New Life Church having a concession stand.
Waffle Cone will also be downtown and selling shaved ice, said Regina Castillo, the chamber’s membership director.
So far, 20 spaces have been filled for the event, but Castillo said any last-minute vendors who want to do so can join in for the cost of $40 per space. Food vendor spaces now cost $65.
The Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors also host a city wide garage sale downtown each fall.
