About a year ago, hundreds of shoppers packed into the Father Edward Pick Fellowship Hall at St. Mary, Star of the Sea Catholic Church. When the Royal Rummage rolled around on Longboat Key, shoppers unfailingly descended in a bargain-fueled fervor.
But this year, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to keep events on ice, the Royal Rummage has been canceled and there are no plans to reschedule the event.
For now, it would be impossible to host a sale anytime soon. All items that had been donated to the church were donated to a parish in Wauchula, said Women’s Guild President Sue DiNatale. It will go to the parish’s migrant workers, she said.
