Garage Sales in Kamloops!
Apr 04 2011
Posted by Elizabeth as Ongoing Events, What's Going on in Kamloops
Before I go on, I must tell you about the Kids’ Stuff Swap that is happening on April 9th. Â This Saturday, from 9am to 1pm, at Calvary Community Church (1205 Rogers Way) you will find an amazing thing… over 80 Kamloops Parents, coming together in one facility to sell their used children’s clothes and toys, as well as share their family-related businesses with you. Â There will be loads of great deals to be had and lots of visiting and fun, too!
The swap started with five tables when my daughter was just a wee thing. Â Now, three years later, this is the seventh one (they are held every six months) and the biggest one yet with over 80 tables!!
There will be a raffle, a concession, photography mini-sessions and great shopping! Â This time, we are asking a $2 admission fee, which will be donated to support the families with little ones battling cancer, in our community.
Be sure to stop by and check it out!
