I forgot to take my camera down to the patio and clubhouse when we were setting up on Friday and then selling on Saturday but the last two days have been hectic yet marvelously successful.
Over 40 people showed up on those two days to help with set up, selling and clean-up. We started at 7:15 am on Friday, sold till noon on Saturday and had the whole place cleaned up and put back in order before 1:30 pm!!!!!!!!!!!! What an amazing bunch and what an amazing amount of work they get done.
Before we got started our chair, Berta Mercer, had expressed real concern because she had very little stored (usually her shed is packed as is her second bedroom). In fact, she thought maybe we'd finally reached the point where there wouldn't be enough to make it worthwhile.
But then the stuff started rolling in from residents, a few things here and a few things there and the next thing we knew we had full tables both inside and out. Maybe not quite as much as we had in December but certainly lots of stuff.
Every baked good was sold before the sale ended, loads of hot dogs and hamburgers were sold to visitors and residents and lots of the furniture and other items were gone. People just coming and coming to look and buy and hang around to chat a bit.
The end result? We made $3, 265!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an amazing park to accomplish this in a day and a half. WOW!!
