When we look for a great way to get rid of old furniture, old equipment, household and other items, we turn first to Mecanica Estate Sales. An "estate sale", simply put, is a sale done for a client who needs to liquidate merchandise!

Your Orb
Welcome to the Merwinsville Hotel glass orb treasure hunt!
The rules are simple....if you find one, keep it and you register it here! If you find another one, please leave it for someone else to find.
We want to thank the 25 sites that are participating (at no cost to them other than coming up with great place to hide the orbs). By inviting other non-profits to participate in our "hunt", we can all benefit. It's so important for all our local non-profits to continue to thrive and to grow - especially after being "on pause" due to the pandemic. We hope this event will be a way to help achieve that.
We want to give a big shout out to the New Milford Commission on the Arts for their generous donation to help offset the cost to hold this event! Thank you so much for supporting us!
