It was a lot of planning, a lot of hard work and time, but very worth it!
I worked with some awesome students from Barrie Central this year. They helped to plan and organize the sale and did all the setup and then worked the sale! It was awesome to have so many young men and women helping me out this year!
On Friday night all the sellers and vendors came out with their goods to setup. The students got right to work unloading cars and helping wherever they could. Everyone was so impressed with how helpful and polite they were!
Once everyone was unloaded and the gym was full of toys and gear and bins upon endless bins of clothes, they got down to sorting, organizing and displaying.
By the end of the night, after 5 hours of hard work, we were all set for the doors to open Saturday morning!!!
We all returned bright and early to be sure that everything was good to go. Our checkout crew setup and were pumped to check out the crowds of moms that came through, there were students around the gym to help the shoppers, keep organized and just watch their hard work pay off!!!
The moms came out in masses. By 9am there was a line up dozens deep just waiting to get at the goods! And shop they did!!!
The baby gear and toys were flying out of the gym. Some moms had arm fulls of clothes and shoes! Everyone seemed really please! It was so good to see so many momstown mamas out too!
Even the kiddies had a great time! Pickles the Clown was on hand to do her magical face painting and the kids looked amazing!!!
It was a great day for everyone! As the day came to an end and the shoppers disappeared, the vendors gathered to have a little fun!
Until next time, thank you to everyone that made the sale a success!!!
