YARD SALE
Well, our volunteers got the inventory priced and displayed for sale and the Yard Sale was underway by 8 am this morning.
Great weather and a good crowd for the event, lined up at the doors starting before 7 am and cars lined up along Laura Lane and Pine Tree Drive. Unfortunately, we didn't have any Marine volunteers from the MCAS, but our Knights stepped up to the task, got the furniture loaded and delivered where required.
Proceeds from our first day set a new record as the top first day in the history of the event, with just under $20,000 in sales. Friday turned out to be our typical slower day, but we still ended up generating $9,000 in sales!
Saturday was another surprise with respect to sales, as we took in over $13,000 once again.
At the conclusion of the sale at noon on Saturday, we broke down our tent city, moved the parts back to the storage area, and stored the more salable inventory for our next sale! Only had 3 Marine volunteers but they worked hard moving furniture and making deliveries.
After a two-week break, pickups will resume on June 19th. Our next Yard Sale is scheduled for October 5th thru 7th.
Here are some photos from the activities on the first day of the Summer Sale!!!
