The Rentschler Museum's annual yard sale started Friday. The Saline Area Historical Society is holding the sale in conjunction with "Michigan's Longest Garage Sale" along the US-12 Heritage Trail. (See more here: Michigan's Longest Garage Sale (us12heritagetrail.org)

We talked to Dean Girbach, on the board of the Saline Area Historical Society, at the Rentschler Museum Friday. He talked about what you'll find at the sale, the best find he's ever made, and more. The sale continues from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.
Proceeds from the sale help the Rentschler Farm Museum, the city-run museum that's managed by the Saline Area Historical Society.
Rod Marsh and friends had a great day selling at the Rentschler Farm, Marsh owns The Studio on South Ann Arbor Street.
Gardeners from the Rentschler Farm sold fresh produce and jams straight from the gardens behind them.
Mert Hershberger sold his wife's pastries.

Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
