Village of Freeville Yard Sales: A Community Tradition Returns

The Village of Freeville will once again host its annual Yard Sales, a long‑standing community event that brings residents and visitors together for a day of discovery, conversation, and exceptional value. The event will take place from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, offering five full hours to explore a wide range of items throughout the village.

The Freeville Yard Sales are known for their variety and quality. Shoppers will find an assortment of rare items, used goods, and practical household essentials, all offered at bargain prices. Many residents take pride in presenting well‑maintained or unique pieces, making the event particularly appealing to collectors, hobbyists, and anyone who enjoys uncovering unexpected finds.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the walkable layout of the village makes it easy to browse multiple locations at your own pace. Whether you are searching for antiques, tools, books, children’s items, décor, or simply hoping to enjoy a pleasant morning outdoors, the event offers something for every type of shopper.

To ensure convenient access for all attendees, parking will be available in two central locations:

  • Next to the Post Office — Ideal for those wishing to begin near the heart of the sale area.
  • At the Village Hall — A spacious option suitable for longer visits and families.

Both locations provide easy walking routes to the participating homes and sale sites.

Visitors are encouraged to bring reusable bags or small carts for carrying purchases, as well as comfortable walking shoes. Early arrival is recommended for those seeking the most distinctive items, as rare pieces often sell quickly.

Sing-A-Long for Sanity Comes to the New Dryden Center for Community

The new Dryden Center for Community has opened its doors as a vibrant space for creativity, connection, and collective care. The project is led by Freeville resident and Board of Trustees member Stephanie Ortolano, whose vision has transformed the former Dryden Methodist Church into a welcoming hub for gatherings, workshops, and community-building of all kinds.

Artist and organizer Shira Evergreen is bringing her Sing-a-Long for Sanity series to the Dryden Center for Community for the first time. Each event is uniquely crafted to spark connections and joy through communal singing…no experience required!

The theme for this month’s Sing-a-Long is Collective Power which will include songs such as:

  • “Part of Your World” from The Little Mermaid (a declared feminist anthem)
  • “Master of War” by Bob Dylan (a song known for being a timeless protest anthem)
  • “Holiday” by Madonna (a song to promote celebration and rest which is a part of collective liberation)
  • And many more!

Songbooks will be provided at the event and discussion surrounding the music and their messages is welcome.

The event will held at the Dryden Center for Community at 9 East Main Street in Dryden on Saturday, May 16th from 6:00 to 9:00PM. The doors for the event will open at 5:30 and all members of the community, regardless of age or experience, are invited to come.
