Community yard sale is Saturday

Texarkana, Texas, Parks and Recreation Department's spring community yard sale and electronics recycling drive is scheduled for Saturday in Spring Lake Park.

The yard sale will begin at 8 a.m. and conclude at 3 p.m., with electronic recycling offered from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m, the city said in a news release. Booths for the yard sale will be set up throughout the park, and electronic recycling will be stationed across from the Rotary Splash Pad.
