Hilltop Apartments to host yard sale for community

Hilltop Apartments will be hosting a yard sale from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday at the corner of Russell Street and Stadium Avenue in the parking lot between Ross-Ade Stadium, Cary Quadrangle and Hilltop Apartments.

One must be a student, faculty member or staff member to sell items in the yard sale; however, anyone from the community may buy items. Before one can sell items, an agreement must be signed releasing Purdue and Hilltop Apartments from any liability.

There is no charge to take part in the sale, but tables do cost $3 and are on a first-come, first-serve basis.

In case of rain, the event will be canceled and not rescheduled due to it being the end of the semester. Table fees will be refunded if the sale is canceled.

The sellers are responsible for all of their items and must remove them by the end of the sale if not sold.

For more information, call the Hilltop main office at 494-2391.
