It’s been two years since the first “Kids’ Swap”. The first one had only six tables, but about 70 people came through the doors to check it out.  Since then, we have changed venue and increased in size, to more than ten times the original event.  The last event had more than 65 tables and I don’t even know how many hundred people came through.  It’s been amazing!

This event occurs twice every year.  Once in the Fall and once in the Spring.  The goal is to help families in Kamloops get their children outfitted for less money and also to reduce the waste of children’s items.  Kids grow so quickly.  Often, as infants, they can grow so fast that you can entirely miss ever having them wear some outfits.  Why not get some use out of those barely-used items?

The KamloopsParents.Com Kids’ Stuff Swap and Sale is being held on Saturday April 10, 2010 at Calvary Community Church (1205 Rogers Way).  There are two entrances (lobby and offices) to the building and both the lobby and the gymnasium will be used.  The doors (both the lobby doors and the office doors) will open to the public at 9am.  The event will be open until noon.

There are lots of fantastic vendors featuring new and handmade children’s items and family-oriented businesses as well as the multitude of tables hosting used children’s clothing and toys.  There will also be a concession featuring delicious baking, coffee and tea, if you didn’t happen to catch your breakfast before heading out!

This event is free and donations will be accepted to help support the worthy causes of the Pregnancy Care Centre for Kamloops and Niteo Africa.
