Garage sale for Greensburg

Merchandise and customers are needed for a “parking lot yard sale” to benefit Greensburg residents. The sale will be from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday in the parking lot at Price Chopper, 2703 West Highway 50.

Proceeds from the sale will be given to Greensburg residents who cannot rebuild because of insufficient or no insurance, or who do not have funds to relocate to another home.

Lemonade for L.A.

When life handed Charlie Wilks a lemon, he made lemonade. Literally.

Charlie, 12, will operate a lemonade stand on Friday to raise money for an upcoming trip to Los Angeles for the National Braille Challenge. The stand will be open at 11:30 a.m. at Family Video, 1012 Commercial St., during the store’s sidewalk sale. Blossom the Clown will be there, too.

Charlie, who has been blind since the age of 5, is the only Kansan competing among the 60 students whose scores were high enough to qualify for the national contest.
