MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -- A popular season is winding down in the Midwest, the garage sale season.  But, there are some good deals to be had this weekend.

"I'll have a sale today and tomorrow," said a Minneapolis man during his yard sale. 

"This is what my family tree looks like, I have squirrels. There are pictures, old A&W root beer mugs," he added.

On 6th Street North in Minneapolis, the price is up to you. 

"I've got stereo equipment, a pickup truck, lawn and garden tools, power tools, lawnmowers and dvd players." 

If finding hidden treasures is your thing, this could be the place.  But for sports fans, the Metrodome on Saturday will definitely be the place.

"As you walk through and look at all the things, it really is a walk down memory lane," said Kevin Smith, Executive Director of Public Relations for the Twins. 

From books, bats, banners, ball caps, to bobbleheads, the Twins are having their moving sale.  Everyone is invited.

"I saw a media guide from the 1987 World Series," said Smith.

"There's just something here for everybody, trust me," added Peggy Imhoff, who's been with the Twins organization since they played their first season at the Metrodome.

Whether it's in the dome...

"We've got uniforms used for TV ads, game used bats and balls."

Or just at home...

"Their crap is probably better than my crap."

Good deals are around this weekend.

"We thought we'd give fans the opportunity to come in and look at things and pick a few items up," said Smith.
