Port Washington resident inspired by Saukville event to create similar rummage sale in city.
If you're on the hunt for a good bargain, you may want to hold off until June 1 — when residents in Port Washington will participate in the first city-wide rummage sale. More than 50 families have signed up to participate in the event, which will last from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m., according to organizer Chris Afplin.

Kwik Trip officials spoke before the Saukville Board of Zoning Appeals on Thursday night in hopes of reversing a decision to deny a permit that would have allowed them to build on the location near a wetland.
Kwik Trip officials were unable to convince the Saukville Board of Zoning Appeals that another gas station near a wetland shouldn't be cause for environmental concern, causing the future of the land the company already owns to continue to linger in limbo. The Board of Zoning Appeals voted 3-1 to deny a modification to the ordinance that is preventing the gas station from being built because the location is less than 600 feet from a wetland. Board members Jim Cryns, Don Clark and Irvin Lusier voted in favor of denying the change, while Dan Sauer voted against the motion to deny. "Its not like we're talking 10 feet distance, it's asking for a more than two-thirds reduction in that setback (from a wetland)," Clark said, defending his decision…
