BUM Fall Bazaar Sale

On the eve of the BIG sale at Boone United Methodist, we’d like to offer a few hints for easier hunting because the sale itself can be quite overwhelming. You will find stations with items covering the entire campus of BUM, and that includes outside.

Here’s what to expect:

The entire hall in the left wing will be divided into stations offering the following:

BOUTIQUE

CHILDREN’S CLOTHING

WOMEN’S CLOTHING

MEN’S CLOTHING

ACCESSORIES

FURNITURE

ELECTRONICS

Outside you will find larger items and odds and ends like lampshades, grills, gardening supplies.

In the Commons Area (place where Spring sale is held) you can expect to find small household items, books, and food to eat on site or baked goods for takeout.

The doors open at 8am and you can be sure that the line will begin to form by 7:30 am. In line you will see some of the Boone “regulars” along with some dealers and “flippers”. So be prepared to beat the latter two in your hunt! And we’ll be cheering for all the Rosebuds!

Make sure you can be as “hands free” as possible as you dive into all the stashes of goods. Rosie W. will be wearing a fanny pack that has the Altoids can stuffed with small bills, and using a rolling cart to haul tomorrow’s treasures.

Leave the sandals at home to avoid a toe crushing experience and wear comfortable shoes and clothing.

You may want to re-read our earlier blog, “Label Whores”, to get a sense of what clothing is most valued, and to avoid paying a high price for a WalMart brand item.

Everything goes half price on Saturday, and you can often unearth some great finds that have been overlooked in Friday’s madness, so don’t despair if you miss the first day.

Thrift away, Rosebuds!
