Coordinate a Community           The nature of such a large event requires the need for coordination on a local level. The word coordination is perhaps large as the person is more of an information ounce than a coordinator. Businesses, organization, and individuals set up their own sales and the coordinator really has no responsibility in those areas. The primary responsibilities of a County Coordinator are: 1. Help advertise and promote the sale within the county. 2. If there are needed decisions relative to local needs, make those decisions. (Examples: U.S. Route 20 is now a bypass, so a decision is made to follow Old 20 or a small community wishes to have a community-wide yard sale, as opposed to limiting it just to U.S. Route 20.) 3. Serve as a contact for two groups of people - those from out of town looking for selling space and locals with space to rent along Route 20. (The easiest thing is just to keep list of those with space to rent, either on a web page or where it can be quickly e-mailed back. The coordinator is not involved in setting prices nor any other aspect of deal making other than just providing information about who is willing to rent space.) 4. Answer e-mailed questions from those seeking information. 5. Contact local law enforcement a week before the sale and ask that they help patrol the route during the sale, particularly factors related to safety. It is essential that a local coordinator be on e-mail. It would be ideal if the coordinator could have a web page where information could be listed as to known sales sites, contact information for those offering space for rent, hotel/motel information, and restaurant information. This, however, is ideal - not required. NOTE: In becoming a coordinator, the individual agrees to have their contact information listed on the Connect To County page on this website.           Ideal candidates for county coordinators would be local tourism officials, local newspapers, local radio stations, antique stores, etc. Media are welcome to become a local sponsor and use the event for their own promotional purposes. This stated, we also welcome individual community-spirited citizens who just want to help.           If no coordinator is listed for your county an you want more information about becoming the coordinator, Please us [ Home ] Presented by: Images & Website design Copyright © 2006 Phoenix Studio.
