Walton Band Garage Sale, East Cobb Weekend Preview

With a little bit of spring in the air, there are some shopping opportunities aplenty this weekend in East Cobb, with many of the proceeds to help good causes.

Starting off first thing Saturday morning is the Tritt Trot, a 5K and 1-mile fun run that’s raising funds that go directly to Tritt Elementary School. The event starts at 7:30 and takes place on and around the school grounds (44355 Post Oak Tritt Road).

The Walton Band Garage Sale will be filling up the original school gym (1590 Bill Murdock Road) for the last time from 8-3, and it’s free to attend. Band members have been collecting items for months, and there’s just about any type of household item you could imagine or want, at bargain prices.

From 9-3 Saturday is the Wheeler Band Recycling Event, in the parking lot of the former East Cobb Middle School (380 Holt Road), and they’ll take your items for $10 a car. Additional fees apply for computer monitors, televisions and paint; there’s a flyer with more detailed information on the link;

Consignment Sale season is getting underway, and from 9-2 Saturday is the NOWAMOM Spring Sale at Sandy Plains Baptist Church (2825 Sandy Plains Road). Clothing, cribs, books, toys and many other items for young children are featured.
