Rummage Sale
This Saturday and Sunday, the Pacifica Historical Socety will host a rummage sale of furniture, books, art, and housewares that Pacificans have donated. The items fill up an entire floor of the Little Brown Church at 1850 Francisco Blvd, which will benefit from the sale. The Society is currently renovating the building, and has already raised $300,000, which has gone toward installing gutters, retoring butresses, installing a handicap lift, among other additions.

Following this weekend, the church will hold sales throughout the summer. The Society's president, Kathleen Manning, told Patch, "it's a chance for people to see what we've done," while also rummaging to their hearts' content.
