3 Fun Things: Aug. 4-6

ROSWELL

Garage sale extravaganza

Get ready treasure hunters. Wake up early, do your stretches, clear out the car’s trunk space — this is the big one. The Roswell United Methodist Church is hosting its annual Garage Sale Extravaganza loaded with books, jewelry, furniture, sports items, art, household goods and seemingly endless selections of men’s and women’s clothing. The sale is so big, it usually requires more than 200 volunteers to staff it. Not only will you discover a few deals, you’ll feel good knowing that all proceeds support RUMC’s job networking program that offers support and education to those facing employment challenges. Tip: Bring cash, ’cause if you’re paying by credit card, there’s a $2 service charge.

8 a.m.-6 p.m. Aug. 4; 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Aug. 5. Free entry. Roswell United Methodist Church, 814 Mimosa Blvd., Roswell. 770-993-6218, rumc.com/garagesale.

CARROLLTON

Everclear concert

You could hear their music on the radio, but nothing beats Everclear live in concert. Head west to Carrollton, where the Amp, the city’s outdoor music venue, is hosting Everclear and its catalogue that spans more than 25 years. The concert is free, so it won’t detract from your efforts to “buy a garden, a new car or a big house way up in the west hills.” And it’s “so much for the afterglow” (dusk, in this case) because the concert starts at 8 p.m., well before sunset. Arrive early with blankets, lawn chairs and picnic supplies to get a good spot and to avoid putting “yourself in stupid places.”
