Selling:
Friday Sept. 24th Regular Sale (no children) 7 - 9 p.m.
Saturday Sept. 25th Half Price Sale (supervised children allowed) 9AM - 12PM

Garments should be hung so that the “hook” of the hanger opens to the left (looks like a “2”) when you look at the garment on the hanger.  This way, all the clothes will face the same way and the price tags (which should be displayed on the upper right side of the garment) will be visible.
Pants should preferably be hung on a pants hanger.  Alternately, they can be safety pinned to a shirt hanger so they don’t fall off.
For 2-piece sets, use a “2 pc hanger” or safety pin the pants to a shirt hanger with the shirt hanging over the pants.

Following these instructions will make it easier for customers to find more items, more quickly.
 

NEW! PLEASE READ! IMPORTANT!
WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT CHILD SAFETY! 
 
In compliance with the new Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 2008, this sale has taken the following precautions for your safety:
 

1. No recalled products can be accepted.
 

In 2008, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act was signed into law, making it illegal to sell any item that has been recalled. For this reason, we are asking our sellers to check their items against the national recall list located at http://www.cpsc.gov/cgi-bin/firm.aspx  It is fast and easy to comply with this request.

The Children’s Clothing Sale will ask each seller to sign in during the drop-off process. This sign-in will be considered an affidavit verifying that the seller has not brought any recalled items for sale. Thank you for adhering to this policy, as we would not want any children injured as a result of the sale of recalled merchandise.
 

2. We have expanded our list of unacceptable items.
 

Although we are not required to test your products for lead, phthalates or to certify that they do not contain prohibited phthalates or lead, there are certain products that have a high-risk of containing lead and/or phthalates.  For this reason, we have expanded our list of items that we cannot accept for sale.
