Saturday, March 17 - Big Kids Resale

For years, savvy moms have purchased baby items, children’s clothes and toys at area resale events – saving money and helping repurpose things that have been barely played with or worn. Now, for the first time in the area, Westlake’s Holly Lane PTA is organizing a Big Kid ReSale for clothing sizes 5T to Junior and gear more appropriate for the older set, rather than the toddler set. The sale will include more than 50 tables. Besides clothing, the event will feature sports equipment, toys, games, books, music equipment, computer stuff, furniture and shoes.
Where: Westlake High School, 27830 Hilliard Road, Westlake
When: 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Who: Everyone is welcome
How: Pay admission at the door. If you are interested in selling, spaces are only $15 and vendors are welcome from all communities. Registration forms are available at: wlake.org (click on the Parents tab at the top of the page and then click Holly Lane at the left side).
Cost: Admission is $5.00 for the early-bird preview from 8:00 am – 9:00 am and $1.00 for entrance from 9:00 am – 12:00 Noon. Cash sales only. Please, no bills larger than $20.00. Small bills appreciated at the door.
