Most Saturdays in Landers are best described as slow and uneventful, but tomorrow will be anything but as hundreds converge on this small community a few miles north of Yucca Valley. Many will be heading to the annual Morongo Basin Orchid Festival at Gubler Orchids on Belfield Blvd. Others will be drawn to two giant rummage sales: one at the Landers Association’s Belfield Hall and the other at the Morongo Basin Historical Society. Tomorrow only, Belfield Hall becomes an indoor vintage marketplace. The Association has been collecting items since last Spring and now it’s time to unload everything at bargain prices. Belfield Hall is on Reche Road just east of the post office. Right around the corner at 632 Landers Lane is the Morongo Basin Historical Society’s popular Museum Marketplace; it returns after a short hiatus. Check out their treasure trove of unique and eclectic items for sale. While you’re there ask for a tour of this fascinating facility. Both sales are open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Orchid Festival stays open until 5 p.m. on Saturday.
