The Super Gigantic Garage Sale only comes to the Lehigh Valley twice a year, and it's here!! Saturday and Sunday, March 25-26, 2023 in Ag Hall at the Allentown Fairgrounds. It's the largest INDOOR garage sale in area, and a favorite of mine and my guest, Robbie Lawrence. Since we talk about it, and it's coming up, I had to share now.
In this excerpt, Robbie talks about finding a Hess's waitress uniform for $20 at this event. Big deal, right? Yes, because shortly after that he was offered $1,000 for it! Here is the event information and links to their website and Facebook:
Super Gigantic Garage Sale
Saturday, March 25 and Sunday, March 26, 2023
Ag Hall at the Allentown Fairgrounds
1950 West Liberty Street, Allentown, PA 18104
Robbie Lawrence is one of the most active collectors I've ever met. You may know him from the stage at Musikfest, or as a host for Service Electric. He has been dubbed the Prince of Polka as frontman of Robbie Lawrence and the Steelworkers Polka Band.
My full conversation with Robbie will air in a few weeks. We talk about how a 20-something like him got into Polka music, what he swooped in and saved from The Brass Rail before it closed, the thriving subculture of retail nostalgia, and why abandoned mall videos are so popular on YouTube!
Again, I am not affiliated with the organizers of the event, nor am I a vendor! I just want to spread the love and encourage everyone to "give thrift a chance!"
