Annual rummage sale draws crowd even before doors open
An enthusiastic crowd on the lookout for bargains began lining up early Saturday to shop at the Junior League’s annual rummage sale at the former CompUSA store at 808 N. Ruby St.
“We had people lined up at 6:30 a.m.,” said sale organizer Marianne Guenther. The doors were scheduled to open at 8 a.m. “They were from here down to the streetlight. People ran in. They almost knocked me over.”
Just about any item a bargain-minded shopper could want was spread across tables inside the cavernous building. There were the usual books, clothing, shoes, furniture and knickknacks. But shoppers could also find an old manual typewriter, records by Luciano Pavarotti and The Oak Ridge Boys, and a framed certificate announcing that Lt. Col. Maurice C. Shumaker was transferred to the United States Air Force retired reserve on July 1, 1968.
