The original information we were provided through our local government about the type of yard sale permit we would need was not correct. The process, we discovered, was much more involved and will take more time than we have left to get the permit finalized. Until we attempted to pay for the permit, we had no way to know our information was not correct initially. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Because this is the second time this event has been scheduled, we felt it is best not to reschedule at this time.
