Fall is in the air and the season of craft sales, garage sales and such is upon us. On Saturday, Sept. 11, the Duxbury Historical Society sets up at the town offices and garage for its annual Let's Make A Deal Lawn Sale.

Members donate a wide assortment of items including housewares, tools, linens, kitchen gadgets, books, games, arts and crafts, etc. One section offers fresh homemade baked goods and food items. In addition to sweets, the selection often includes some savory items like baked beans. 

Shawnee Perry, who helps organize the event, explains that the sale lives up to its name. “The buyer makes a ‘pile’ and we figure it out together what the pricing should be. Great deals to be had, that’s for sure!” Perry said. 

The sale is a fundraiser for the organization. 

Hours are 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Duxbury Town Office & Highway Garage on Route 100. 

Organizers ask attendees to be mindful of COVID-19 safety practices. Hand sanitizer will be available for use at the sale.
