A DAY out in Whorouly bagging bargains, while also supporting a great cause, could be a wonderful way to spend Victorian election day.

The third Whorouly community garage sale will be held this Saturday, November 26, with stalls to peruse and food available for purchase from the Whorouly CWA Hall in Church Street – which is right next door to the town's election polling booth at Whorouly Primary School.

Stalls at the CWA Hall will include the promise of delicious CWA–baked scones and other items for sale, and for just $2, bargain hunters can pick up a map showing the properties around Whorouly which are involved in the garage sale.

Properties taking part will also be sign–posted by flags, and will offer items ranging from furniture to farming implements, and general household items, with sales kicking off at 9am.

"It's a great chance to pick up a few bargains before Christmas, and a great way to draw people to Whorouly," Sherren Tilson, one of the organisers, said.

Proceeds from the event will go to the organising Whorouly Inner Wheel group, and will be directed to cord blood research, which aims to identify ways stem cells derived from cord blood can be used to find cures for the treatment of leukaemia, strokes, heart disease and other auto–immune diseases such as cystic fibrosis.

Anyone wishing to include their property on the map can do so for a $5 fee, with more information available from Sherren Tilson on 0437 668 696.
