CLEARLAKE, Calif. – On Saturday, April 5, come and enjoy the first “Lake's List Unplugged” event.

It will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Clearlake's Redbud Park.

Lake's List Unplugged will be a countywide yard sale where local businesses and residents will fill up tables full of treasures for others to find and purchase.  

The group plans on having food available, live music from Borrowed Time and a bouncy house for the kids to have fun.

If you are interested in a table, the tables are $15 each and $20 if someone is selling a vehicle and requires a parking space. To find an application online please go to http://tinyurl.com/unpluggedDL .

Lake's List started as a small Facebook group to offer an alternative to Craig's List which did not feature a section for Lake County.

Within three years, Lake's List now has grown to more than 15,500 members and the group is still continuing to grow.  

People have sold, bought, traded and given away so many items from cars, to computers, to clothing and so much more. It is frequented by people all around the county and is moderated by those around the county and even some admins reside outside of the county too.  

Lake's List was nominated in 2013 for the Volunteer Group of the year at the Lake County Chamber of Commerce Stars of Lake County.

Everyone is invited to take part. Please call 707-695-0834 and ask for Bruno Sabatier or call 707-701-3254. and ask for James Ortega and either one will be happy to help answer any of your questions.
