A

large yard sale to benefit mission work in Senegal will take place for the ninth time on Friday and Saturday, July 31 and Aug. 1, beginning at 8 a.m. at the home of Jill and Mike Edelman, 2449 Ridge Road (Route 23), Elverson. The Edelmans are missionaries

with the Global Training Network (GTN) and Mission Inter Senegal (MIS), the former of which trains pastors and other Christian leaders around the world. MIS helps missionaries connect with local towns and villages within the country. The yard sale returned last summer after a two-year absence. “It’s really not a yard sale,” Jill said. “It’s more like a flea market.

I call it a God sale.” Shoppers will find a variety of items at the upcoming sale, including antiques, lamps, artwork, furniture, jewelry, toys, baby and toddler items, fishing gear, sports equipment and household items. All of the items available at the sale will be donated by members of the community. The couple said that prices at the sale are much See Yard Sale pg 3

Glowsticks and running. It’s an unusual pairing, but one that will be in evidence at the “Glow Run” 5K run and walk at Honeybrook Golf Club, 1422 Cambridge Road, Honey Brook, on Saturday, Aug. 15. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Honey Brook Food Pantry. This year’s event is the first of its kind since 2023; previous events benefited OneRunTogether, a now defunct nonprofit that financially and spiritually supported local cancer patients in need. The race, which will start at 9 p.m., will have runners adorned in T-shirts with glow-in-thedark logos, as well as glowstick necklaces and bracelets. “It’s a very cool visual effect when you see almost 200 people running together with glowsticks through the night,” said Steve Elliker of Elliker Financial, principal sponsor of the event. “This is a beautiful venue at the golf club; beautiful rolling hills. It’s quite a nice visual.” There is a nominal cost to sign up, which can be done at https:// r u n s i g n u p . c o m / R a c e / PA / HoneyBrook/ReadySetGLOW atHBGC. The signup price will increase after Saturday, July 25. That date is also the deadline to guarantee a T-shirt. Registration includes glowsticks and snacks on the night of the race. On the day of the race, registration will be from 8 to 8:50 p.m. After the race starts at 9 p.m., the awards ceremony will be at 10 p.m. Awards will be given to the top three finishers in each age group (5 to 7, 8 to 10, 11 to 13, 14 to 16, 17 to 19, 20 to 29, 30 to 39, 40 to 49, 50 to 59, 60 to 69 and 70 and older).
