Two local events this weekend promise a change of pace from the typical beach and/or winter activities. And after the recent cold spell, these offerings give you fun reasons to get out of the house and enjoy the warmer air.
Saturday morning, January 16, is the 7th Annual Yard and Craft Sale indoors at the Orange Beach Community Center, 27235 Canal Rd. Proceeds benefit American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, so you’ll want to take advantage of one of the area’s largest yard sales to find bargains and to make a difference at the same time.
The sale begins at 7 a.m. and ends at noon, but get there early for the greatest selection of items. Sausage biscuits & gravy and coffee are available to keep your energy up as you wander through the aisles and booths. For more information, call 251-981-1524.
Saturday and Sunday, January 16 & 17, brings the 8th Annual Gold Coast Coin & Currency Show to Foley. The free admission encourages visitors of all ages, and everyone can learn many interesting tidbits by taking time to talk with the folks involved.
Located at 407 E. Laurel (Hwy. 98 east of Hwy. 59), the doors will be open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Prizes will be awarded, so be sure to buy your raffle tickets. Call 251-943-1486 for further information.
