The three-weekend village-wide garage sale known as Treasure Days made September a treasure itself! Hundreds of Bridgeview homes sold objects of all kinds to fellow residents searching for deals and hidden gems, and a pirate crew tossed out gold-covered chocolate coins to the eager treasure-seekers while sailing through the village on a float every weekend.
Dressed as a pirate as she stood alongside Trustee Pticek on the float, Trustee Pinion gave her thoughts on the event. “I started Treasure Days to make it easy for people to hold garage sales and engage with their community. This year was another resounding success, so it’s no wonder that other communities have followed our example.”
