The Rochester Honkers are inviting fans and community members to a special garage sale on Friday, August 21, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Mayo Field in Rochester, Minnesota. The event is a one‑day opportunity to take home a piece of the team’s history before the field’s upcoming changes.
What’s for sale
According to the team’s social‑media announcement, the sale will feature a wide range of items, including concessions equipment, grills, tables, chairs, benches, and game‑worn jerseys. Fans can also find limited‑edition merchandise and apparel that remained in storage after the last home game.
“If you’re a Honkers fan, it would be kind of awesome to have a bench or chair from Mayo Field,” the post read, highlighting the sentimental value of the pieces.
Special drink offer
To encourage attendance, the Honkers are offering a drink special during the sale: all beverages will be sold for just $1 each. Organizers said the discount is likely a way to clear out remaining stock from the venue’s tap.
Why the sale matters
The garage sale comes as the Honkers prepare for changes at Mayo Field, and the team hopes the event will allow supporters to keep a tangible reminder of the venue’s legacy. The announcement also mentioned that “there will be so much more” at the sale, suggesting additional surprises for early‑arriving shoppers.
Local residents who enjoy the team’s presence in the community are encouraged to arrive early, as inventory may be limited and popular items could sell quickly.
Location and timing
The sale will be held on the grounds of Mayo Field, the home stadium for the Rochester Honkers baseball team. The venue is located in downtown Rochester, making it easily accessible for fans coming from across the city and surrounding areas.
For more information, fans can follow the Honkers’ official social‑media channels, where updates about the sale and any additional items will be posted.
