NARROWSBURG -- Down on the Narrowsburg flats last Saturday, Cathy Hector sold a Super-Nintendo game for $40. Her son, Eric, wasn't unhappy about it because he was getting a Sony Play Station to replace it.

Hester Green from Damascus sold an old Singer sewing machine for $25.

The event was the Narrowsburg Town-Wide Garage Sale.

The Avon Lady, Jo Garrity, got rid of a lot of products. "We used to have the sale in the town hall and it was better," she said.

Barbara Sarnoff from New York City got a couple of good deals. A hand-painted dish which she paid for and a golden ashtray which she got for free.

Tom Darby from Milanville sold a lot of tools and furniture. "It was a very good day, a good turn-out," he said.

"We burned to a crisp but made several hundred dollars," said June Waterston with her sister Janet, both from New York City and Callicoon.

The sale was sponsored by the Narrowsburg Chamber of Commerce. "It's the third year in a row we did this," said Chamber member Kevin McDonough who attended with his wife, Kay.

In addition to the flats, sales were held in front of homes throughout the town.

The chamber charged sellers $10 and promoted the event with fliers and newspaper advertisements, provided directional signals and listed it on the Internet.
