There’s hidden treasure to be found in Wisconsin’s cities, towns, and villages. Every year, when the snow melts and the days grow warm, something springs up besides the tulips and daffodils: rummage sales. The season runs from April through October, and in some places, they literally take over the town. The Village of Winneconne holds one of these events, and its Village Wide Rummage Sale is the perfect excuse to visit a charming Wisconsin town. The next one is coming up August 10 through 13 of this year. And who knows, you may find that thing you didn’t know you needed. Here’s what you need to know about this great Wisconsin rummage sale.

Winneconne (population 2,300) is a village on the Wolf River in Winnebago County. It’s part of the Wolf Chain of Lakes, a popular destination for anglers and boaters.

While the sale is a village-wide event, every homeowner decides how they want to participate. Some of the individuals' sales begin on Thursday and run through Sunday; other sales are Saturday only. There’s a fall sale, as well as a spring sale in the town.

Some garage sale enthusiasts make an art out of events like this. You’ll know them when you see them – they are not afraid to bargain and they browse with precision between sales. Some even leave the motor of their car running while they shop.
