As CHS athletic stars Allison Wenzel and Taichen Rose let loose with their air horns Saturday morning, a great wave of humanity crashed down on Coupeville Elementary School.

The event?

The Coupeville Lions 37th annual garage sale extravaganza takes over S. Main St. this weekend.

The sale, which is the biggest fundraiser for the organization, is built on year-round donations.

Doors open Saturday from 9 AM-4 PM, then day two unfolds Sunday 9-1.
