Saturday was a busy day for the residents of Greystone Community. The day started with the Semi-Annual Garage Sale where items went for record bargains. People came from all over Arkansas in hopes of finding items at great prices.
Andrea Callahan, of Little Rock said she was happy to make the drive for the bargains she got. “I bought a glass and brass coffee table for thirty dollars. Anywhere else it probably would have been a couple of hundred dollars”. Miss Callahan said she also found a nice wall mirror for her new home. “I know exactly where I’m going to hang it”, she said. Other shoppers left with a variety of items from household goods to toys.
“My daughter just asked for a doll house for Christmas”, said Trina Lewis, of Little Rock. Miss Lewis was pleased with the beautifully crafted dollhouse she purchased from Karen Wilkens of Greystone for $20.
The sale ended by noon leaving the sellers and buyers satisfied. In addition, as the crowd of happy buyers departed out of Greystone more cars arrived for the Couple’s Scramble and a night golfing.
Couples teamed up dressed in glowing dreadlocks, necklaces, and other glowing attire to play 18 holes.
“It was a lot of fun out there,” said Richard Johnson, General Manager of Greystone and coordinator of the event. “Everyone seems to be having a great time”.
After the games the golfers gathered back at the Nine’s Restaurant where they feasted from a Buffett styled menu that included fried catfish, creole chicken, beef tips, salad, rice, mashed potatoes, vegetables, rolls, and dessert.
Johnson said he wanted everyone to be a part of the event, even if they did not participate in the night golfing event. ” We decided to have the buffet and DJ Joe King provide music so everyone could come out and be a part of the event”, said Johnson. “I think we had a pretty good turnout”.
