Black Harbour Yard Sale opens today
April 8, 1999
Hubbards - Diehard fans of the cancelled television series Black Harbour will be able to pick up a few souvenirs at the soap's liquidation sale today, Friday and Saturday.
Instead of lugging around lights and camera dollies, members of the show's production crew have been tearing down studio walls and slapping price tags on everything from furniture to beer glasses, clothing and vehicles - all the trappings used to transform Hubbards and the old Mill Cove military base into the fictitious community of Black Harbour.
The CBC cancelled the show in January after a three-year fun.
It's been a sad process for studio workers who have been left to put the sale together, said one who didn't want to be named.
Everybody enjoyed working on the show, she said, and now all that's left of Black Harbour are three studios jammed with tables laden with housewares, like a "really big, exciting yard sale."
Still, the sale will be fun for many bargain hunters who are in the market for top-quality stuff at reasonable prices. Plus, there's the kick of owning something that's been part of a TV show's decor, she said.
"With a lot of the pieces, it won't be immediately apparent that they were used on the Black Harbour set, but people who watched the show regularly will definitely see things that they recognize and can buy.
Take the "monster" truck, for instance, the scene of many passionate kisses between Kyle and Tasha, the show's tortured teen lovers. Or the blue pickup driven by the to-drool-for Paul (Alex Carter). How about the weathered Black Harbour High School sign or the beer mugs from the restaurant of Katherine Hubbard (Rebecca Jenkins)?
The sale is cash only and is open to the public from 11 am to 6 pm at the Black Harbour studios in Mill Cove Park, Highway 329.
