This weekend, Pat Garlick and her husband Eric, wrapped up their Freedom Yard Sale for the summer, with a three-day Labor Day rummage sale. Pat Garlick has been operating the garage sale for two years using all money collected to send “Pride Packages” to soldiers stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq and to sailors deployed on various ships. She said her inspiration for the project came when her son, 2004 Shelbyville High School graduate, Evan Garlick enlisted and went to Iraq. Evan is now a LCpl (Lance Corporal) and is up for promotion to Corporal soon.
