Can I use my registration form from last year?
No. We need you to download this year’s form. It has all of the correct fees, deadlines, and contact information for this year’s event. If you use an old form, you may get important deadlines wrong, or send your registration to the wrong address. We don’t want that!

You need to email yardsale@holdengirlscouts.org for a copy of this year’s Town Center Form.
Is this event COVID safe?
We are hopeful that since yard sales take place primarily outdoors (or in opened up garages that have a lot of airflow), that the level of risk in hosting or shopping a yard sale is minimal. We ask everyone participating, as always, to please follow state and local safety guidelines and restrictions. While most of these have been lifted at this point, we still encourage masking if you’re finding yourself indoors or in crowded situations. We also ask sellers to please frequently touched objects to help reduce the spread of pathogens.
Are you guys still doing that social distancing thing?
We have decided to keep the number of spaces open at Town Hall reduced this year. Doing so minimizes crowding, and also makes the event more manageable for organizers. We hope you understand! But don’t think that means there won’t be enough spaces for you! We’re working with the Friends of the Red Barn so that participants can rent space at the Red Barn on Shrewsbury Street, as well!
How do I submit my registration form?
You can email your filled out registration form directly to yardsale@holdengirlscouts.org! If you do this, please keep in mind that we need to get your registration fee before you can be listed on any of our materials. The registration fee due is based on the day we get the fee, not the form, so in your email, please set up a drop-off time for your payment.
If you prefer to print your form, you can either mail it to the address on the bottom of the 2022 form, or email yardsale@holdengirlscouts.org to coordinate drop-off. If you’re getting close to the registration deadline, we recommend setting up a drop-off appointment, since we will be accepting forms based on the date they are received, not the postmark date.
Where do I send my registration form?
Send your form and a check for the appropriate amount to the address printed on the 2023 Registration Form. If you prefer to hand-deliver your form, there will be a box for you to put your registration into! If you’re getting close to the registration deadline, we recommend dropping off your form and payment since we will be accepting forms based on the date they are received rather than the postmark date. Email questions to yardsale@holdengirlscouts.org.
I didn’t get a confirmation email. Is that okay?
You should get a confirmation email within one week of receipt. If it’s been a week and you’re still waiting, contact yardsale@holdengirlscourts.org!
When are registration forms due?
1) If you want your address to show up on the printed version of our town map, we need your registration form and payment by 6pm on Monday, May 8th. If you can’t get it to us by then, we will still accept forms through 6pm on Thursday, May 11th, but your address will only show up on the printable list and on the interactive google map.
2) If you want space at the Town Center or Red Barn and don’t want to pay a $10 late fee, then we need your form by April 28th at 6pm. We will accept your forms until 6pm on April 30th with a $10 late fee, but we do recommend getting this form in early, since spaces tend to go quickly.
I think I missed the deadline! What can I do?
If it’s after 6pm on May 8th, we’ve already brought the map to the printer. If you still wanted your address listed online, though, we will be accepting forms until 6pm on May 11th.
Can I sell food?
As long as you get the proper permits from town hall, you are more than welcome to sell food at this event!
Does it cost more to get space at Town Hall or Red Barn?
Yes! It costs $5 more than listing your address.
How much does it cost to register my address?
It’s $20 to register your address by April 28th, 2022. If you miss that deadline, we’ll still be taking forms until 6pm on May 11th, but the fee is increased to $30. Please note that you will only be on the printed map if you submit your form before 6pm on May 8th.
How much does it cost to get space at the Town Center or Red Barn?
As long as you get us your form by April 28th, it’ll cost you $25 to reserve space at the Town Center or at the Red Barn. If you’re running late and miss that cut-off date, we’ll still accept your form (if there’s still space! These spaces are first come, first served) until 6pm on May 9th for $35.
In the past I’ve sold at Town Hall, but this year your form also says Red Barn? Where is that and why would I want to sell there?
This year we have decided to partner with the Friends of the Red Barn to offer selling space at the Red Barn on Shrewsbury Street. The Fairbanks Barn (or Red Barn) is a town landmark and provides community space (with permission from the Friends) to the town and its people. Selling here may seem less attractive than selling at the center of town, but it’s pretty darn hard to drive through Holden for any reason without driving past the barn on Shrewsbury Street, and we think that this is a great opportunity for sellers to reach people without overcrowding the already bustling Town Hall area.
Who do I make checks payable to?
“Holden Girl Scouts”
How can I pay?
We prefer checks (they’re safer for you and for us!), but if you absolutely must pay with cash, please arrange an in-person drop-off before hand so we have a receipt handy!
A receipt helps us both track whether you’ve paid, so it’s very important that you arrange an in-person drop off. We don’t want cash payments getting lost in the mail or stolen!
And as for online payments, we are still not accepting those at this time.
Who can I contact if I have questions?
Contact yardsale@holdengirlscouts.org. Alternately, you can always contact Holden Girl Scouts on this website or on our Facebook page!
