The annual sale is held the first Saturday in October from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Redwood Acres Fairgrounds in Eureka. Spread out over three buildings, There are great bargains on housewares, furniture, electronics, tools, books, clothing, jewelry, toys and sporting goods, including new items donated by local merchants. With an active membership of more than 50 volunteers and a large group of associate members, Humboldt Sponsors is able to generate most of the funds needed for grant requests with the proceeds from their annual rummage sale.
