What's better than a juicy yard sale on a summer weekend? A big, communitywide one, where people from all walks of life here can come together to sell unwanted items and hunt for treasures. Such a sale will take place on Aug. 10, a Saturday, at the East Hampton Historical Farm Museum from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The cost to set up a table as a seller is $25, payable either by check to the museum at P.O. Box 3037 in East Hampton 11937 or by Venmo to @Patricia-Sales-6, with "yard sale" as a note. Participants must provide their own tables. The rain date is Aug. 17.

As a fund-raiser for the museum, there will also be a bake sale and raffle prizes on offer.

Time for the Great Backyard Bird Count!

The ground will be covered in white for this year’s Great Backyard Bird Count, which starts Friday and lasts through Sunday, and that means feeders could be especially active and potentially yield some surprises.
