It was a busy day for bargain hunters as garage sales were back in full swing Thursday.

In light of COVID-19 concerns, a couple of them had signs and hand sanitizer out.

“We wanted to protect ourselves and the other people that were coming to take a look,” says Wendy Dirks of Steinbach.

Dirks was also careful to space out her items and allow for physical distancing where possible.

“I have wipes as well,” she offers, “and though no one has said anything, they’ve used it.”

Another Steinbach garage sale host, Crystal Kroeker, says she is happy to have the privilege returned and so wanted to take precaution.

“I still just wanted to keep everybody safe,” explains Kroeker. “Garage sales are great, but we know the virus is still around so we just wanted to be careful.”
