Description:
It’s a rummage sale extraordinaire, with two gymnasiums and a cafeteria chock full of bargains in women’s, men’s and children’s clothing, housewares, small appliances, furniture, art, toys, games, linens, collectibles and sporting goods. You can find everything from snowboards and bicycles to fine crystal. The designer boutique housed on the lower level is not to be missed: This year’s finds promise to include Chanel, Burberry and Prada along with plenty of Patagonia and The North Face. All proceeds benefit the scholarship fund at the Francis W. Parker School — last year the sale raised more than $50,000 for this important cause.
NOTE: The general sale is CASH ONLY; the designer boutique accepts credit cards.
