This is the rummage sale ran by kids and for kids. Youth ages 5-17 can reserve a table to sell their used clothes, toys, games, and sports equipment. This event is intended to help kids learn how to interact with people in a business-type setting. Kids are allowed to keep all the profits from the items they sell. Parents should supervise their kids but should limit their involvement in running the booth. Tables are $5 to reserve, but they are limited to one table per family. Spaces will also be limited, so sign up early!
