Avalon Volunteer Fire Dept, Police to Hold Special Events May 7

AVALON – The public safety sector in the Borough of Avalon will be busy on Saturday, May 7th with various events that will be held in conjunction with the Borough’s community-wide yard sale. Both the Avalon Volunteer Fire Department and the Avalon Police Department will be holding special sale and auction events in the community.
The Avalon Volunteer Fire Department will be holding its very popular hoagie sale on May 7th, starting promptly at 10:00am. The hoagie sale will last until 3:00pm, or until hoagies last. The hoagie sale has become so popular in Avalon that the department plans on making hundreds of additional hoagies this year. The Italian hoagies will be on sale at the front of the Avalon Fire House, located at 3100 Dune Drive in Avalon.
In conjunction with the hoagie sale, the Avalon Volunteer Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary will be holding its annual plant sale on May 7th. The plant sale gets underway at 8:00am and lasts until 3:00pm. There will be a large variety of plants available for sale during the event which will also be held in front of the firehouse.
Proceeds from both the hoagie and plant sales support the general public safety efforts conducted by the Avalon Volunteer Fire Department.
The Avalon Police Department will also be participating in a special event on May 7th. The public is invited to the second annual bicycle auction which will be held outside at the Avalon Department of Public Works located at 13th Street and Dune Drive in Avalon. The bicycle auction begins promptly at 11:00am, with an on-site preview of the bicycles available at 10:00am.
“Last year’s bicycle auction was a big success and a lot of fun for the Avalon community”, said Avalon Police Captain and “auctioneer” William McCormick. “The auction provides an opportunity for the public to obtain used bicycles that were abandoned or discarded in the Borough over the past year”. All bicycles are sold in “as is” condition. Revenue derived from the bicycle auction goes towards public safety initiatives by the Avalon Police Department.
These two events are being held in conjunction with one of the biggest events in the spring in Avalon. The Borough of Avalon’s 17th annual Borough-wide yard sale sponsored by the Avalon Garden Club will be held on Saturday, May 7th, from 9:00am until 3:00pm. The event will be held rain or shine. The authorization fee for a property to participate in the yard sale is ten dollars, with proceeds going towards beautification projects in the Borough conducted by the Avalon Garden Club.
Avalon residents are reminded that any unsold items from the yard sale can be left curbside for bulk trash pickup. Items must be curbside by Monday, May 9th, no later than 7:00am.
