The Annual Cook Park Yard Sale is Back!

BY PETE TAYLOR

Back by popular demand, the annual Cook Park Neighborhood Yard Sale will return on June 17, 2023 from 9AM – 2PM. It is the first time this event has been held since the pandemic, so it is a great chance to clear out all those treasures that have been piling up.

How it works
Each participating household hosts its own yard sale on June 17. The CPNA will produce a map of participating homes, promote the yard sale online and place event signage throughout the neighborhood.

Nonprofits are welcome

Nonprofit organizations located in the Cook Park neighborhood are welcome to participate as sellers. This has been a great fundraising opportunity for organizations in the past. Just be sure to include the name of your nonprofit in the comments when you register.

Get the kids in on the action
Here is an idea! Lemonade stands are now legal in Denver. If you have kids or grandkids, it would be fun for the whole family to work together and add a lemonade stand to your sale.
