Highway 70 Garage Sales May 4
Saturday, May 4, 2024 is the day of the annual Highway 70 Garage Sales, which will take place from Jayton through Spur and Dickens all the way to Matador and Turkey. And the library happens to be situated right on Texas Highway 70!
The Friends of the Library will be hosting a baked potato bar lunch from 11:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. at the library, located on Highway 70 (403 East Hill Street), thanks in part to Lawrence Bros Grocery, Cap Rock Telephone Cooperative and South Plains Electric Cooperative. For a suggested donation of $10 you will get a potato with all the fixings such as pulled pork, taco meat, butter, sour cream, cheese, jalapenos, and more. You will also get a cold drink.
Anyone interested in looking through our used book room will be welcome. We encourage you to fill a bag with paperbacks for free! If hardcover books are more to your liking, we have quite a few of those too. A donation would be appreciated for taking the hardcover books from the used book room. We will also be selling tickets for the raffle that is to be held between 5 and 6 p.m. that same day. Although you do not have to be present to win, we encourage you to join us for the drawing. We will be serving coffee and desert at that time. The grand prize for the drawing is a $500 gift certificate to Salt Fork Outfitters, 304 Burlington Ave. Spur, Texas, courtesy of Salt Fork Outfitters; second place prize is a $100 Visa gift card courtesy of the Friends of the Library; and the third place prize is a $50 gift certificate to Lawrence Bros Grocery courtesy of manager C.C. Noland. Tickets will be available for $5 each or six for $25 at the library or from any library board member up until the time of the drawing. Thank you to all of our local merchants and citizens for supporting our local library!
Donnice Carruth is director of the Dickens County-Spur Library, in Spur.
