Hallie Hamlin, 9, waits with her purchases for her mother to check out Saturday morning at the local Junior League’s 46th annual Thrift Sale at the Brenau Downtown Center. Hallie’s finds included a white cast net she plans to hang over her bed. Her mother, Amanda Hamlin, said she attends the Grand Venta de Yarda every year. “It’s a long-standing tradition,” Amanda Hamlin said. “Over 15 years. It started with my mom, now I’m bringing my kid.” - photo by NAT GURLEY
One of fall’s popular pastimes is visiting garage sales and thrift stores, where prices are cheap and you never know what you may find. People from around North Georgia on Saturday descended on the Brenau Downtown Center, formerly Georgia Mountains Center, to sift through clothes, toys and other items during the Junior League of Gainesville-Hall County’s annual Thrift Sale. The sale benefits the Junior League’s community initiatives, which is focused on the Strengthening Families program.
