Deadline for sign up to be included on the map is Wednesday, September 11th . The list will be handed out at the Stone Gate & Canyon Lakes West gatehouses on the day of the garage sale.
Banners will be posted outside the community at some major locations and an advertisement will be placed in the local newsletter.

PLEASE REFRAIN from attaching your garage sale sign to community signs. Please do not move or remove any community banners or signs.
