What will you find at the end of the trail?
Come to Nutrioso Community Center and see what you'll find. Each year is a new adventure! You'll find a variety of treasures both inside and outside the community center. Shop the sale and take some baked goods home to enjoy with your family.
We welcome your donations! Clean out your closets, garages, sheds...and bring them down to the community center. Donations will be accepted April-June. Look for a schedule of drop-off dates for donations posted in the kiosk at the community center and at the Nutrioso Post Office. Donations are tax-deductible.
Volunteers are always needed to help set out, price items and help with the sale. We set out and price Tuesday through Thursday before the sale from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. A hearty lunch will be provided for volunteers on Thursday. This is always a fun and friendly time!

Large & Small Raffles, Silent Auction, Craft Vendors, Food Trucks, Live Music...You'll find it all here!
This annual event has been held at the Nutrioso Community Center for 50 years!
