Hey Day returns. Kemptville’s biggest garage sale back for 2025

SUBMITTED

Hey Day is back for its 62nd year! 

The Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) Auxiliary invites you to its major fundraising garage sale, which brings in tens of thousands of dollars for the hospital each year. Hey Day is set for Friday, June 6 and Saturday, June 7 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre arena. 

“We’re looking forward to welcoming back our wonderful volunteers and community shoppers,” said Sandi Kelly, Hey Day Convenor. “Hey Day is a long-standing tradition in Kemptville, dating back to before the hospital opened its doors, and the Auxiliary is so happy to keep the tradition going.”  

Proceeds from the 2023 and 2024 editions of Hey Day – including over $55,000 raised last year – together with funds raised from other Auxiliary initiatives, went towards purchasing a CT Scanner for the hospital. 

Hey Day is considered one of the largest indoor garage sales in eastern Ontario and features all kinds of treasures, from home décor and books, to toys and clothing, electronics and sporting goods, plants and baked goods, jewellery and more! 

Hey Day is run entirely by volunteers and supported through community donations. All proceeds go to the hospital for the purchase of equipment and services in support of patient care. 

Anyone interested in volunteering for this year’s Hey Day can contact the Auxiliary by emailing kdha.heyday@gmail.com or calling 613-447-4492.

“Hey Day is a community event,” said Kelly. “Without people dropping off donations and showing up to help with the sale, the Auxiliary wouldn’t be able to do it, so thank you to everyone who contributes.”
