Save Newport Real News in Newport Beach
It’s that time of year again, when Balboa Island hosts their community garage sale. Each year, we are told that it will be their last one, as organizing it has become too cumbersome for the ones arranging it. This year, local Newport Beach realtor Steve Roose decided to pick up the slack. Saturday the 19th of September at 7:30am, Balboa Island Garage sale will begin, this time including raffle prizes such as:
- VESL Paddle Board Package from Luxury Real Estate | $1,000 Value
- Gift Box from Balboa Jerky – Jerky, Jams, Honey, Nuts | $80 Value
- 2 Tickets for Ultimate Whale Watching Experience with Newport Coastal Adventure | $150 Value
- 4 Tickets for Whale Watching with Newport Whales | $100 Value
- 2 Tickets for 1/2 Day Sport Fishing Trip with Davey’s Locker | $100 Value
- Gift Basket from Americannery – Balboa Island | $100 Value
- Gift Card from CIAO Italian Restaurant
- Gift Cards from Sugar ‘N Spice
- 2 – 2 Hour Paddleboard Passes from Paradise Paddle | $100 Value

So what’s all the big drama about? Well, Don Abrams, who is apparently speaking for all of the Balboa Island Improvement Association– an unofficial organization with no actual authority– has declared tomorrow’s garage sale as “an unsanctioned event”, as fears of Coronavirus continue to scare many residents. Abrams has set a new date, for the BIIA’s garage sale, for October 24th.
So this year, it sounds like the island will be having TWO garage sales.
We look forward to seeing which one has the bigger turnout– but if you’re interested in the best of the goods, try getting to the earlier one 🙂
