TOONIES FOR TURTLES YARD SALE

29 Bay Lake, L'amable

(Rain date: Sunday, May 4th)

Hosted by Think Turtle Conservation Initiative

Think Turtle invites you to join us for a fun day of bargain hunting at our Toonies for Turtles Yard Sale! Every single item is just $2 — that's right, just a toonie can score you something great while helping a great cause.

We've got over 400 DVDs to browse through, a handful of handmade crafts and items for crafting, a variety of household items, CDs, and plenty of other treasures waiting to be discovered. There's something for everyone, whether you're a movie buff, a crafter, a deal-hunter, or just love a good rummage.

Best of all, every dollar raised goes directly to turtle conservation efforts in Ontario. By shopping with us, you're helping protect local turtle populations and their habitats.

Want to donate items?

If you are in the Bancroft area and have some small items you would like to donate to the yard sale, we would greatly appreciate it. Please get in touch with Think Turtle at 647-606-9537 (phone/text) to discuss this. Thank you.

Come out, bring a friend, and shell out some love for Ontario's turtles. The more, the merrier! We look forward to seeing you and your friends there!
