Providence Church Uses Garage Sale to Raise Money for Mission

Sale will help fund mission trip to Italy

What do winter coats, old blenders and used books have in common? They could all help send eight members of Providence Church to Rome in July on a missionary trip.

Residents Spend the Weekend with Their Favorite Aunt Teak and Uncle Junque

The French Creek Merchants Association’s annual event brought out the bargain-hunters

Avon’s French Creek District lived up to its name this weekend as the streets maintained a steady flow of shoppers looking for a good deal during the annual Aunt Teak and Uncle Junque weekend.

Avon antiques dealers share their expertise to help you sell smart

Avon's annual Aunt Teak and Uncle Junque sale is coming up this weekend, and shoppers from all over Ohio -- and maybe beyond -- will be descending upon Avon looking for a bargain. Are you planning on getting rid of some of your old stuff in a garage sale this weekend? Some of Avon's antique dealers shared some tips on how to succeed. Robert Shinko, co-owner of Shinko's Country Store and Countryside Antiques with his wife Lois, has owned both stores for the past 40 years. He and Lois began antiquing for fun and ended up acquiring and selling so many items that they decided to open their own business, he said. Currently, they sell antiques dating from as early as the 1800s all the way up through the 1950s, depending on what they find at …
