Garage Sales in Norman

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

This past weekend I hit the all town garage sales in Norman Oklahoma.

I’d have to say that overall, it wasn’t ‘as’ good as the prior all town sale in Noble, but only because the garage sales were much further apart. After all, Norman is a bigger place than Noble…

The first sale I stopped at had HIGH prices and two beautiful cats running around. I got blocked in the driveway and had to wait. I only parked ‘in’ the driveway because of ‘where’ this sale was situated. You couldn’t park on the street.

The second place I stopped at - well I was there earlier in the year. Bummer. Same stuff too. And again the lady that blocked me at the first sale, pulled up here too, but this time she parked beside me, not behind me…

I actually bought something at the third sale! Now I was pumped!

I’ll take some photos asap and post them here!

Don’t you just love the thrill of the hunt and the ‘find’ at yard sales? :)

Keep abreast of Free Events in your area

Free is the best entertainment value for your money!

This past weekend, we ventured into the National Weather Center at the University of Oklahoma right here in Norman OK. It was their annual ‘weather festival’.

There was a car show but not your typical car show. This car show was weather spotters and storm chasers!

There were weather balloon releases. Lots of booths and information galore. The café inside is called the ‘Flying Cow’ much like the cow in the Twister movie and in the Wizard of Oz. There were even three of the mobile weather sensors including the actual DOROTHY from the movie “The Twister”. The Dorothy is actually a prop, but based on real technology. TOTO the sensor on the right is the real thing.

There’s nothing like free, right in your own neck of the woods.
