NEW & UPCOMING SPECIAL EVENTS

SPECIAL EVENT! Yard & Bake Sale
Saturday July 17th 8am – 12pm
Several non-profits in Surry will be participating in a community yard sale next month, The Gatherings being one of them. This is a great time and place to unload your items that someone else could use. A group yard sale attracts more buyers and you’ll be on a well traveled road with lots of visibility. We have room for 12 sellers here at the community center. Reserve a table for $15 and set up your display here – with lots of indoor and outdoor space, it’ll be a rain or shine event!
