CITYWIDE PHOTO SCAVENGER HUNT:
On the day of the Citywide Garage Sale, the Clifton Recreation Department will also be conducting a Citywide Photo Scavenger Hunt Contest. Individuals registered for the scavenger hunt will be looking for items at the various garage sales. They will need to take a photo of an item at one of the locations of the sale and submit the photos online. Purchase of the item is not required however participants are encouraged to shop. We hope this will bring more traffic to your sale.
Participants will be informed that they must be respectful in the manner in which they search for items. If you experience any problems the day of the event, call our Scavenger Hunt Hotline at (973) 986-9977 and indicate any problems you are experiencing. Teams will be wearing team-colored armbands. Indicate the armband color when calling.
