GREENUP, Ky. – If you have unwanted collectables you’d like to dispose of, get over to Greenbo Lake State Resort Park on Friday and Saturday Sept. 5-6, 2008 for the Greenbo Camper Trade Days.

Come and enjoy the early fall weather and sell those years of unwanted collectables. Clean out your attic, basement, garage and even that mystery closet.  Bring anything you want to get rid of (suitable for public viewing), or handcrafts that you want to sell.

You must be camping at Greenbo Lake’s campground to set up a trading/selling area. All campsites must be cleaned up before departure on Sunday Sept. 7. No food or drink is to be sold, and no firearms are permitted.

There will be a free Bean Dinner for campers on Friday, Sept. 5 from 5-7 p.m.
The public is invited to shop Saturday, Sept. 6, 9 a.m.-8 p.m.
