On Saturday, May 14th, from 9 AM to 2 PM we will be hosting another Tag Sale and Mother’s Market. This event is similar to a Vendor Fair but items for sale will be gently used baby and children’s clothes, maternity clothes, baby or children’s furniture, toys, or anything else that could be recycled and useful to someone else. Of course, tag sale items can be whatever the seller is willing to bring. Table space will be purchased as follows: 8 foot tables inside for $20, and outside larger spaces will be available for $25. Those choosing to set up outside must provide their own table and shelter. There will be a bake sale table and luncheon will be available as well. Here’s a great opportunity to clean out some of those still-in-good-condition items that someone else could use. For more information or to reserve your table space, call the church office at 860-379-2157.
